Abstract:
Objective:To explore the dynamics and directionality between perceived discrimination and inter-group trust in migrant children.Methods:Totally 69 migrant children from a primary school in Fuzhou were select-ed and followed up for two years.The Questionnaire on Perceived Discrimination among Migrant Children and the trust game task were used to measure migrant children's perceived discrimination and intergroup trust,respective-ly.Statistical analysis of the results was conducted using correlation analysis,cross-lagged regression analysis,and repeated measures ANOVA.Results:There was a significant decrease in perceived discrimination after 2 years(P＜0.05).From the cross-sectional data,the perceived discrimination negatively predicts the in-group and out-group trust in the same period(P＜0.05).However,in the longitudinal view,the predictive effect of pretest perceived dis-crimination on in-group trust selection rate within post-test is not significant(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference between in-group trust and out-group trust in the pre-test(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Change over time,the level of perceived discrimination in migrant children may decrease.Although the statistical results are not signifi-cant,there is still a potential negative predictive trend of perceived discrimination on in-group trust,and the migrant children may gradually shift to ingroup trust.
