International Comparison of Individual Social Capital:Dual Perspectives on Structural Crossing and Resource Attainment
This article delves into the international comparison of individual social capital and underlying mechanisms.Drawing on data from the 2017 International Social Survey Programme,this article uses position and resource generators to measure individual social capital,allowing for empirical comparisons across 29 countries worldwide.The study finds that:firstly,substantial variations exist in individual social capital across countries,primarily manifested in the structural crossing in the construction and maintenance of social capital,as well as the resource attainment during the activation and mobilization of social capital.Secondly,the convergence and divergence dynamics across economic,cultural,and social dimensions at the country level serve as profound institutional forces shaping the global variances in individual social capital.These insights are crucial for understanding the international differences in interpersonal interaction patterns from a global view.
