The aim of this study is to investigate the longitudinal association between indicators of different components of social capital at the individual, household, and area levels and self-esteem while adjusting for various confounders at multiple levels. Respondents participating in Wave 1 (2009) and 2 (2010) of the Seoul Welfare Panel Study were used in the analysis. The final sample for the current study includes a total of 5127 participants in 2738 households within 25 administrative areas. This study shows that only a small amount of variance in self-esteem was attributed to the area level (7.6%). On the other hand, a relatively large amount of variance in self-esteem was attributed to the household level (52.5%). It has also shown that all individual-level social capital indicators including perceived helpfulness, organizational participation, and volunteer work were positively associated with self-esteem. Among household-level indicators of social capital, only organizational participation was associated with self-esteem. However, none of the area-level social capital indicators were associated with self-esteem. The main finding of the current study suggested that the association between social capital and self-esteem varied depending on both dimensions and levels of social capital indicators.
本研究旨在探讨个体、家庭和地区层面不同社会资本组成部分的指标与自尊之间的纵向关联，同时在多个层面调整各种混杂因素。本分析使用了参与首尔福利面板研究第 1 波（2009 年）和第 2 波（2010 年）的受访者。本研究的最终样本包括来自 25 个行政区域的 2738 户共 5127 名参与者。研究表明，只有很小一部分的自尊差异可以归因于地区层面（7.6%）。另一方面，相对较大一部分的自尊差异可以归因于家庭层面（52.5%）。研究还表明，所有个体层面的社会资本指标，包括感知的帮助、组织参与和志愿服务，都与自尊呈正相关。在家庭层面的社会资本指标中，只有组织参与与自尊有关。然而，没有一个地区层面的社会资本指标与自尊有关。本研究的主要发现表明，社会资本与自尊之间的关联因社会资本指标的维度和层次而异。
