互联网重要性感知如何影响农村居民主观福利水平？——来自CFPS 2022的证据

How Does the Perception of the Importance of the Internet Affect the Subjective Welfare Levels of Rural Residents?—Evidence from CFPS 2022

摘要: 随着互联网在农村生产生活场景中的持续扩散，数字技术不仅改变了信息获取、社会交往和就业方式，也影响了居民对生活状态和未来发展的主观评价。本文基于2022年中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)农村地区在业居民样本，从个体主观认知视角出发，采用结构方程模型(SEM)考察互联网重要性感知对农村居民主观福利水平的影响机制，并进一步检验心理健康和工作满意度的中介作用。研究表明，互联网重要性感知显著正向关联农村居民主观福利水平；心理健康和工作满意度均在二者之间发挥中介作用，其中工作满意度路径的中介效应相对更强。研究结论表明，在农村互联网接入条件持续改善的背景下，提升农村居民数字融入质量、改善工作体验并完善心理支持体系，有助于促进其主观福利水平提升。

Abstract: With the continuous proliferation of the internet in rural production and daily life scenarios, digital technologies have not only transformed information acquisition, social interactions, and employment patterns but also influenced residents’ subjective perceptions of their living conditions and future development. Based on a sample of employed residents in rural areas from the 2022 China Family Panel Survey (CFPS), this study examines, from an individual subjective cognition perspective, the impact mechanism of perceived internet importance on rural residents’ subjective well-being using structural equation modeling (SEM), further testing the mediating roles of mental health and job satisfaction. The findings indicate that perceived internet importance is significantly positively correlated with rural residents’ subjective well-being; both mental health and job satisfaction serve as mediators between these two factors, with the mediating effect of job satisfaction being relatively stronger. The conclusions suggest that, against the backdrop of ongoing improvements in rural internet access, enhancing the quality of digital integration among rural residents, improving work experiences, and strengthening psychological support systems can contribute to elevating their subjective well-being.
