Abstract:
The cultivation of a positive social mentality among left-behind children in rural areas has become a crucial issue in national social governance and development. During the 2025 National Two Sessions, the “Government Work Report” specifically emphasized the need to enhance care services for left-behind children. Against this practical backdrop, this paper systematically reviews the main progress of existing research on the social mentality of left-behind children in rural areas. It summarizes the characteristics and limitations of current findings from three dimensions: current status and features, influencing factors, and cultivation pathways. Furthermore, it outlines key directions and feasible approaches for future research: future studies should focus on developing relevant measurement tools, adopting multidisciplinary perspectives, and integrating theoretical research with empirical studies.
农村留守儿童积极社会心态的培育已成为国家社会治理与社会发展的重要议题。2025年全国两会《政府工作报告》特别强调要加强留守儿童关爱服务。在这一现实背景下,本文围绕农村留守儿童社会心态相关研究,系统回顾了现有研究进展,从现状特征、影响因素与培育路径三个维度梳理了已有成果的特点与局限,进而对未来研究的关键方向与可行路径进行展望:未来应加强相关测量工具开发、拓展多学科视角、推动理论研究与实证研究相结合。
