当代城市青年的人际信任

Interpersonal Trust of the Contemporary Urban Youth

利用2011年中国社会信用制度研究的调查数据,考察了当代城市青年人际信任的总体特点,并比较分析了不同类型青年群体人际信任各维度的具体特点。研究发现,当代城市青年的人际信任表现出与传统中国乡土社会高度一致的差序格局特征,即:对亲人关系的信任程度最高,较亲密、稳定的工作关系和熟人关系次之,而对生人关系的信任度最低。同时,城市青年对工作关系的信任程度高于熟人关系和生人关系。这表明,对城市青年人际信任结构的研究,不仅应考虑关系亲疏和情感特征,也应关注人际交往的时空特征。从不同群体的比较来看,男性、未婚、高教育程度和高收入城市青年的人际信任要高于女性、已婚、低教育程度和低收入者。

Using data from the survey in 2011 on China＇s social credit system, the paper studies the general char- acteristics the contemporary urban young people＇s interpersonal trust, and analyzes the specific features of different groups of the youth in all dimensions of the trust. The findings show that the interpersonal trust of the urban youth displays a differential mode of association which is highly consistent with the traditional Chinese rural society, that is, the highest level of trust is for family/relative relations, the acquaintance and long - term - basis working relationship takes the second place, and the lowest is for strangers. Particularly, the urban young people＇ s trust for working relationship is higher than the one for acquaintances and strangers, which indicates that the research of the population＇ s trust structure should not only take into account the characteristics of different relations and e- motions, but also pay attention to the spatial and temporal characteristics of the interpersonal communication. From the comparison of the different groups, the interpersonal trust of male, unmarried, highly educated urban youth with larger income is higher than that of female, married ones with low education and low income.
