Children from distressed families show poor social adaptation, and are more vulnerable to peer bullying and likely to experience social adjustment problems. Based on the survey data of “Research on Children's Health Problems in Distressed Families”, this paper focuses on the prosocial behavior of children with disabled or severely disabled parents, and explores the causes of their prosocial behavior problems from the perspective of family function. The results show that children with disabled parents perform worse prosocial behavior than ordinary children. Further analysis suggests that having parents with severe disabilities has negative impacts on children's nutritional diets, family living environment and family education. The negatively affected family education status further leads to children's worse prosocial behavior. Therefore, we should focus on the implementation of “family responsibilities” for children from distressed families, improve their family functions, thus promote their social adaptation and ensure their comprehensive development.

Migrants’assimilation has been one of the most important and longstanding sociological research topics,and human capital accumulation has been found to exert decisive effects on assimilation.This paper examines the relationship between multiple indicators of human capital and multiple indicators of assimilation among migrants in 2010.We found that generally,education,job training,occupational skill,and work experience are positively correlated with assimilation, i.e.,income,community participation,cultural assimilation,and desire of long-term residence at the place of destination. However,the relationship between human capital and assimilation is not uniform,but varies with different measures of assimilation.Education does not bear a significant linkage to cultural assimilation; also surprisingly,job training is related to income,but yields strong impact on other dimensions of assimilation.Among all indicators of human capital,work experience,gauged by work years in current position,has the most consistant association with the four aspects of assimilation.Such findings suggest that human capital affect different aspects of assimilation differently,depending on measure of assimilation and human capital perse.
