Abstract: The rural marriage migrant females encounter the new living environment after marriage, and their social integration will affect individual development and stability of marriage and family. Using the data of “Marriage Migration and Development of Rural Females” conducted in nine provinces of China in 2014, this paper analyzes the current status and influencing factors of behavioral integration and psychological integration of the marriage migrant females in these areas. The results indicate that social integration of rural marriage migration females does not show obvious vulnerability; individual factors and community factors have significant influences on their social integration. Rural female with longer marriage circle, poor mastery of dialect and experience of being discriminated will show poor social integration; the females with higher level of education, no working experience, lower income and longer marriage duration will have higher behavioral integration or psychological integration; the females in the village with higher per capita will have higher social integration. Moreover, behavioral integration of rural marriage migration females has positive effects on their psychological integration.
