ABSTRACT The problem of farmer laborers?children in cities

With the society developing, the physical and mental health of these children comes to attention too. This thesis chooses the psychological status of farmer laborers?childr

On the one hand, there are not many essays from this view of p

10、oint. On the other hand, as migrant into cities these children show their unique features on psychological status with the change of living surroundings. They differ from the children living in the countryside all the time, also from the native children in cities. This dissociating condition brings

11、great negative influence on their physical and mental development. With investigative collection of data, this thesis explores objectively the psychological status of these farm laborers9 children, and makes attributions to improve their mental health and future growth. This thesis describes, based

12、on investigation (questionnaires, interviews, and homework analysis), the psychological status of the farmer laborers?children living in Yangzhou City as well as those studying in a government school and additionally a self-established school special for farmer laborers9 children. Then it considers

13、the status with the urban children抯 together to figure out the differences between them on these dimensions of mental health, environmental adjustment, communication with others, study conditions, and self-evaluations. Then the author further probes the influence of communication with generalized ot

In the communication with generalized others, farm

15、er laborers9 children take urban citizens as a reference and construct a marginal identity just as their parents do. The duties are oftten overemphasized while lawful rights are frequently ignored. However, identity is an ever-changing process rather than a fixed entity. Active communication can hav

Key Words: Farmer Laborers?Children in City; Identity Construction; Marginal People in Yangzou City Psychological Status; 城市农民工子女作为一个日趋庞大的社会群体，越来越成为社会的关注对 象。过去学术研究主要侧重于他们入学受教育方面的问题，随着社会的发展变化， 城市农民工子女的身心健康发展问题也日受关注。 本文选取了城市农民工子女的 心理状况作为研究对象

17、，通过分析比较公办学校中的城市农民工子女，打工者子 弟学校中的城市农民工子女和公办学校中的城市儿童，探讨这三个群体的异同。 一方面，是因为目前这类问题的研究还不多见，另一方面，城市农民工子女作为城 市的迁入者，因为社会环境的变化，这一群体有其特有的心理状况 ,他们不同于完 全生活于农村的儿童，也不同于完全生活于城市的常驻儿童，这种处境上的游离 状态给城市农民工子女的身心发展带来巨大的影响。通过分析比较研究，对城市 农民工子女的心理状况将有比较客观的了解，对促进城 市农民工子女的心理健康 和发展具有一定的意义和作用。 本文力图在调查和研究（问卷调查、个别访谈、作业分析等 ） 的基础上，呈现 生活

19、边缘人 ” 身份。在如上分析的基础上，本研究认为流动儿童在与 “ 一般化他人 ” 的互动中 被社会建构了 “ 城市边缘人 ” 这样一个义务强化、权利弱化的自我身份。但身份 也不是一成不变的，它是一个不断变化着的过程。因此，积极的交往在消极的身 份构建中可以起到非常积极的作用。 关键词：城市农民工子女；心理状况；身份构建；城市边缘人 Acknowledgements ABSTRACT 摘要 CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION . 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 Research Background . 1 1.2.1 1.2.2 1.2.3 The Current Situatio

24、3 Research Background With the economic development and the rapid modernization progress in China, more and more peasants go to work in cities and are usually named as farmer labors. Some of them who got married leave their children with relatives in the countryside and some take their children with

25、 them to cities to live and study. In academic circles, they are called transient children or farmer laborers?children. According to 揟 emporal Method of Transient Children抯 Schooling Problem?by the Education Department and Ministry of Public Security, transient children are children aged from 6 to 1

26、4 years old who follow their parents or guardians to temporary residence more than half a year. We can see that transient childrens definition does not limit the direction of their migration while farmer laborers9 children come from the countryside to the cities. So they are not equal to transient c

27、hildren exactly. What is more, one characteristic of the Chinese Census Registration System (houkou) is the obvious separation between the rural and urban population. Farmer laborers9 children are members of a non-urban population, including farmer laborers?children left in the countryside and farme

28、r laborers?children in cities. Hence as part of transient population, farmer laborers?children in cities can not be simply named farmer laborers?children. In this thesis, farmer laborers9 children in cities refer to those children who follow their parents to cities while their census registrations a

29、re not urban. 13. The Current Situation of Farmer Laborers9 Children in City The children, who are called Second Generation of Transient Population, followed their parents to live in cities. From the moment they arrived, they抮 e confronted with very typical situation. First, Marginal Population in C

30、ites. Marginal Theory are raised by American Socialist Park in 1920s. He thought that due to intermarriages and migration, people between two cultures are bothered by a loss in psychology since their memberships of race or culture are not that clear. Since 1960, some Latin-American scholars tried to

31、 apply the Marginal Theory to the economic, social and cultural conflicts in China which were caused by migration between countryside and cities. In China, farmer laborers?children in cities are an in-disregardful group of teenagers. Their identities are somewhat inherent in that before they are bor

32、n or brought to cities, they 搃 nherit?their parents?rural census registration. In the background of social transition in China, farmer laborers?children in cities are separated from the traditional peasant identities like their parents did, while they are not wholly non-agricultural zed. On one hand

33、, they do not cut off the identity relationship with traditional peasants; on the other hand, they are not totally accepted by the non-rural groups. Hence they are situated in the position between two social roles. Although they have changed their living and study areas from countryside to cities, t

34、hey census registration system excludes them from urban system. They live in cities while hold the rural census registration and not accepted by peers or the whole urban society. Even their hometown accents would be something been laughed at in cities. Their self-established schools are considered a

35、s indecent. Before the schooling policy of sending farmer laborers?children in cities mainly to government schools is comprehensively carried out, the self-established schools are always relocated or shut down. Those who have already been in government schools do not have formal student identities a

36、s urban children do. They抮 e transient students there and have to pay certain fees. Hence the dropout rate of farmer laborers9 children in cities is as high as 9.3%1. Their education rights are not ensured. In the aspect of culture life, the rate of farmer laborers9 children in cities going out to l

37、ibraries, museums or science activation centers are much less than urban children. Their culture lives are simple and mean. Their channels to entertainment or 1 See a report uTthe Drop-out Rate of Transient Children in China as High as 9.3%Min Chinese Young News Paper in 14th, May, 2004. 2 informati

38、on are inferior to urban children either. One investigation by Zhou Luan etc. from Beijing Normal University shows that the rate of TV possession rate in farer labor families in cities is 75% while computer is 6.7%(Zhou et al., 2005).Although the rates are much higher than farmer labor families in c

39、ountryside, they are much lower than urban registration families. Another investigation on the situation of transient children抯 surfing the internet shows that， 92% of them never log on internet, 2.4% of them 1 hour, 1.9% of them 2 hours and 1.9% of them 3 hours. Data shows that urban children surf

40、the internet 1 hour per day on average. It is clear that farmer laborers9 children in cities get to internet and computers much less than urban children. Although views on teenagers9 contact with internet still vary nowadays, the development of information technology is an important symbol of social

41、 development and it could not be denied that children contact with internet and computer is an basic starting point to the future， while farmer laborers?children lack such sources of new information and technologies. 14.
