The present study examines the relationships between changes in bonding and bridging types of social capital and depressive states among middle-aged adults in Japan using a nationally representative sample. Data was collected from a nationwide, population-based survey conducted from 2005 to 2013 in nine annual waves. A total of 16,737 middle-aged men and 17,768 middle-aged women provided data. They reported about depressive states, measured by Kessler 6 scores, and bonding and bridging types of social capital, measured by reported participation in different social activities. Latent growth modeling was conducted to examine relations between changes in bonding and bridging types of social capital and depressive states within individuals across the nine waves. The results showed that, for both men and women, increases in bonding social capital were associated with decreases in depressive states, while changes in bridging social capital were not related to changes in depressive states. In addition, the results showed that changes in bonding social capital, but not bonding social capital at the baseline, affected changes in depressive states. Future studies should take changes in social capital as an independent variable into consideration.
本研究利用具有全国代表性的样本，考察了日本中年成年人社会资本的联结型和桥接型变化与抑郁状态之间的关系。数据来自于2005年至2013年进行的一项全国性、基于人群的调查，共分九个年度波次收集。共有16737名中年男性和17768名中年女性提供了数据。他们报告了用凯斯勒6项量表评分衡量的抑郁状态，以及用报告参与不同社会活动衡量的社会资本的联结型和桥接型。进行了潜在增长模型分析，以考察九个波次中个体内部社会资本的联结型和桥接型变化与抑郁状态之间的关系。结果表明，无论男性还是女性，联结型社会资本的增加与抑郁状态的降低相关，而桥接型社会资本的变化与抑郁状态的变化无关。此外，结果还表明，联结型社会资本的变化而非基线时的联结型社会资本，影响了抑郁状态的变化。未来研究应将社会资本的变化作为一个自变量加以考虑。
