Abstract

Based on China General Social Survey 2005, this research takes 2849 urban female residents as samples, and utilizes ‘social capital’ theory to depict urban female residents' conditions of social capital and political participation. Moreover, logistic regression method is adopted to explore the impact of social capital as well as political involvement within this group. After controlling over the individual-characteristic variables, the regression model indicates that the factors which have significant positive effect on institutional political participation are friend-trusting factor, neighborhood-mutually-beneficial factor, objective-community factor, and interest-community factor in terms of social capital within female citizens; the factor which exerts an obvious negative influence on institutional participation is stranger-trusting factor; the factors which present significant positive effect on active political participation are objective-community factor, and religion-community factor; the factors which play noticeable negative role in active political participation are acquaintance-trusting factor and neighborhood-mutually-beneficial one. Finally, the authors argue that the political participation would be effectively enhanced if horizontal social organizations are improved and ‘relationship network’ can be modified.
