教育使我们更信任——基于CGSS2015数据的互联网使用与社会信任分析

The Effect of Education on Trust——Analysis of Internet Use and Social Trust Based on CGSS2015

基于"2015年中国综合社会调查"(CGSS2015)的数据,本文分析了互联网使用对于不同关系类别社会信任的影响以及教育在其中的调节作用。研究发现,互联网使用对于普遍社会信任以及强关系、弱关系、陌生人间的社会信任均有负面影响,而教育年限对上述所有关系存在显著的正向调节作用,且该调节作用随着教育年限的增加而增强:当教育年限高于10.5年、14.7年、17.9年时,互联网使用对于陌生人、强关系、弱关系的社会信任的削弱作用被教育完全消除。总体而言,教育能在一定程度上抵御信息快速流动对于社会信任的冲击,对于社会信任的维持和社会稳定的维护起着重要的作用。
