摘要
Social quality focusses on the nature of ‘the social’, arguing that people are realised as social beings through interacting with a range of collectives, both from the formal world of systems and the informal lifeworld. Four conditional factors are necessary for this to occur, which at the same time are assumed to influence health and well-being: socio-economic security, social cohesion, social inclusion and social empowerment. In this paper we test the utility of social quality in explaining self-rated health as a response to arguments that the social determinants of health (SDH) framework often lacks a theoretical basis. We use multilevel models to analyse national English and Welsh data (the Citizenship Survey) to test for both individual- and neighbour-level affects. Our key findings are that (1) neighbourhood contextual (cross-level) effects are present with respect to collective action, personal trust, cross-cutting ties, income sufficiency, and income security; (2) measures of national, community and personal identity as indicators of social cohesion show clear associations with health alongside more common measures such as trust; (3) the security aspects of socioeconomic determinants are especially important (housing security, income sufficiency, and income security); (4) social rights, including institutional rights but especially civil rights have effects of particularly large magnitude. Social quality offers a theoretically-driven perspective on the SDH which has important policy implications and suggests a number of promising avenues for future research.
