Research has seldom considered social capital at the individual, household and administrative area level simultaneously and examined its association with mental health.
The main purpose of this study was to examine the association between social capital and mental health while controlling for various confounders at multiple levels using multi-level analysis and operationalizing social capital at the individual, household and administrative area level.
This study used cross-sectional data from the 2010 Seoul Welfare Panel Study conducted by the Seoul Welfare Foundation (participation rates for the household and household members were 87.6% and 87.5%, respectively).
and conclusions: The main finding of this study was that organizational participation (B = 0.132, p < .001) and perceived helpfulness (B = 0.129, p < .001) were positively associated with mental health. This study also found that perceived helpfulness was positively associated with mental health (B = 0.070, p < .001). However, it did not find a significant association between the contextual level of social capital and mental health. The results indicate that the different dimensions of social capital may act differently to mental health depending on the level.
研究很少同时考虑个体、家庭和行政区域层面的社会资本，并考察其与心理健康的关系。
本研究的主要目的是通过多层次分析，同时考虑多个层面的各种混杂因素，并在个体、家庭和行政区域层面上对社会资本进行操作化，来检验社会资本与心理健康之间的关系。
本研究使用了 2010 年由首尔福利基金会进行的首尔福利面板研究的横断面数据（家庭和家庭成员的参与率分别为 87.6%和 87.5%）。
本研究的主要发现是，组织参与（B=0.132，p<.001）和感知的帮助（B=0.129，p<.001）与心理健康呈正相关。本研究还发现，感知的帮助与心理健康呈正相关（B=0.070，p<.001）。然而，它并没有发现社会资本的背景水平与心理健康之间存在显著的关联。研究结果表明，社会资本的不同维度可能因水平而异，对心理健康产生不同的影响。
