Research On The Relationship Between The Role Identification And Subjective Well-being Of Land-lost Farmers

With the rapid expansion of urbanization,a large number of farmers lost their land,resulting in a group of land-losing farmers.However,due to problems such as low education and employment difficulties,the new life of land-lost farmers is faced with various challenges.Their adaptation to the new role affects their quality of life.Therefore,it is necessary to carry out research on land-lost farmers.Based on the Chinese background,this research focuses on the land-lost farmers group in the suburbs,studies the subjective well-being of land-lost farmers from the perspective of psychology,and explores the influence mechanism of role identification and social support on subjective well-being.On the basis of subjective well-being,role identification and social support related concepts and literature combing,this paper uses a combination of quantitative research and qualitative research to carry out research on farmers who lost land in the suburbs.The quantitative study used the Land-lost Farmers’ Role Recognition Scale,Social Support Rating Scale,and Subjective Well-being Questionnaire to survey 327land-lost farmers,and used SPSS22.0 for data analysis and processing.On the basis of quantitative research,in order to further explore the impact mechanism of subjective well-being,semi-structured interviews with 10 land-lost farmers were conducted through qualitative research,and grounded theory was used to code and analyze interview data.Quantitative research found that:(1)Land-lost farmers’ subjective well-being(M=78.95,SD=11.10)is good,role identification(M=117.19,SD=13.33)is average,and social support(M=39.41,SD=8.43)is good better.(2)There is no significant difference in the subjective well-being of land-lost farmers in terms of gender,age,educational background,income change,and marital status,and significant differences in the time of land acquisition.(3)Subjective well-being is significantly positively correlated with role identification(r=0.45,p<0.01),but not significantly correlated with social support.(4)Hierarchical regression found that social support plays a negative role in role identification and subjective well-being(β=-0.14,p<0.01).Qualitative research found that:(1)Work is an important factor affecting subjective well-being.The subjective well-being of land-lost farmers is divided into three dimensions: work,policy and life satisfaction.(2)Recognition of citizen’s role improves subjective well-being.(3)Social support is high,subjective well-being is also high,and land-lost farmers have poor utilization of support.Therefore,this article concludes that the subjective well-being of land-lost farmers is good,and demographic factors other than work have a weaker effect on subjective well-being.The land-lost farmers’ role identification with the citizens is at a moderate level,the degree of social support is relatively good,and the utilization of support is poor.Citizen role recognition and good social support can improve subjective well-being.This study proposes to improve the working environment and policies at the national,social and individual levels,increase citizen role recognition and social support,and enhance the subjective well-being of land-lost farmers.
