Abstract:

This study attempts to provide an insight of migrant identity using the data of 2012 Migrant Dynamics Monitoring Survey in China．The Latent Class Analysis is adopted to explore the patterns of mi- grant identity．Demographical differences among different identity patterns are also examined．The results identify three patterns of migrants’identity: rejected identity，congruent identity and ambivalent identity．No significant identity difference is found between urban-urban and rural-urban migrants．Part of the migrants has ambivalent feelings about their identity．The new generation of migrants，especially the new generation of rural-urban migrants tends to reject their citizenship of the inflow cities．The distance of migration and the type of settled city are significant factors affecting pattern of migrants’identity．The prolonged duration of residence tends to improve migrant’ s degree of self-identity．Interacting and communicating with local resi- dents are important in facilitating migrant’ s self-identity．Finally，living with family enhances migrant’ s self-identity．

摘要：

文章以2012年流动人口动态监测数据为基础,利用潜类别分析(LCA)的方法探索了流动人口身份认同模式,同时还探究了不同身份认同模式之间的人口学差异。研究发现:流动人口的身份认同模式可以划分为拒绝型、一致型和矛盾型三种类型;城-城流动人口与乡-城流动人口之间在身份认同模式上不存在明显差异;一部分流动人口对自己的身份认同存在着一种矛盾心理;新生代流动人口,特别是新生代乡-城流动人口对于自身的市民身份是排斥的;流动人口的流动范围以及所居住的城市类型是影响其身份认同模式的显著因素;在流入地城市长期生活是提高流动人口身份认同的重要途径;人际交流互动是促进流动人口身份认同的重要手段;与家人同住将改善流动人口的身份认同。
