Abstract: The present study investigated the relationship between perceived discrimination and Chinese migrant children's social alienation, and explored the mediating effect of identity integration as well as the moderating effect of social support. Based on questionnaire method, 1101migrant children were recruited to participate in the study. Results were as follows:(1) After controlling for gender, types of school and times of transferring to another school, perceived discrimination significantly positively predicted migrant children's social alienation. (2) Identity integration partially played mediating role in the relationship between perceived discrimination and social alienation. (3) The mediating effect of identity integration was positively moderated by social support, The indirect effect was stronger for migrant children with high social support than those with low social support. Thus, both mediating and moderating effects exist in the association between perceived discrimination and migrant children's social alienation. These findings contribute to our understanding of a comprehensive interpretation of both environmental and individual factors' impact on Chinese migrant children's social alienation.
