Under the context of urban and rural dual structure,the rural household registration population poured into the city.This population of fluidity not only conclude migrant workers that are of a great number,but also the group of rural college students.In the view of the volume of knowledge,this group can be regard as college students,but from the view of the identify of society system,they are still rural people.Those people can't enjoy the same welfare as urban household registration students and citizens.So,under this comparison,rural college students' weak position caused,and relative deprivation in psychology raised.This phenomenon should attract our attention.Based on this,this article is try to study a not obvious but important negative impact from the weak position of those high educated individuals of rural background in the contrast of urban college students to their psychology,which may cause the dynamic change of individuals'relative deprivation in rural college students' urban life.Mainly in order to clarify a process that the dynamic change of individual's psychological stress state,that is relative deprivation,in the change of time and space as well as the positive or negative behavior orientation under the intermediary adjustment mechanism.Bourdieu define field as a arena,and according to his interpretation of field,we can regard field as the social structure which focus on people' action and the perspective of relationship.Basis on this understanding,the paper regard the structure of relation in which rural college students live and learn after they enter in urban city as the urban life field.This concept comes from the angle of thinking about the relationship.As for rural college students,in the process of field change,their old social relations gradually fade and the new social relations are gradually formed.At the same time,the old habits formed in the rural field are rejected and merged by the new field.In the process of the formation of new habits,one important point is the conflict between the old and new culture,which cause the relative deprivation becoming increasing prominent,and the perceive mix together with the habit,which is easy to produce the sense of society inequality and different attitudes towards different hierarchy,such as "hatred the rich".Another important point is intercultural injuries such as discrimination and hostility between groups with different household registration are also dominant or implicit exist.Obviously,compared to urban background college students,the existence of rural registration college students are clearly at a disadvantage place.So some rural household registration students tend to generate the habit of continual helplessness in the urban life of the arena.The typical relative deprivation theory has three different theoretical branches,which conclude the theory of J-curve developed by Davis,the ABX theory proposed by Ruciman,and the tunnel theory discussed by Hirschman.Those three branches provide defination ground to the formation and dynamic change of rural students' relative deprivation from rural life field to urban life field.Some domestic scholars try to divided the relative deprivation into horizontal relative deprivation and longitudinal relative deprivation based on different causes.Combine with the interpretation of the field defined by Bourdieu,we can seperate the dynamic change of rural college students' relative deprivation into there stages:The longitudinal relative deprivation formating when rural background students entering in the urban field,the horizontal relative deprivation's emerging when living in the field,and the positive or negative behavior caused by the relative deprivation when rural college students leaving the urban feild.In fact,these three stages do not have a clear time boundary.During the whole process of rural college students from rural to urban and then to even they themselves do not know where to go,the relative deprivation present a dynamic change process.The thought and behavior of humanbeings are controlled by the objective environment.The forces of the objective environment can be changed and adjusted by rule makers and rule performers.When the rule makers and performers under the humanistic care to give actively guide to rural college students who are dissatisfaction with the social environment or their own state,it may help rural students to produce the aspiration for upward mobility,and hard work for it;on the contrary,assuming that if rule makers allow the rural college students view their relative deprivation status negatively and single-faceted,it will cause the individual Fatalism.Those people will underestimate the subjective initiative of themselves,and the worst will cause serious social misconduct.
