农村最低生活保障制度与农民对政府信任的关系研究——来自两次延续性的调查

A Study of the Relationship between the Rural Subsistence Allowance System and Farmers' Trust in Government—Based on Two Consecutive Surveys

由于制度不健全、农民收入测算技术欠缺、农民个人的骗保行为和基层政府行为失范等诸多因素,农村低保在运行中存在较大的问题。投射到政府信任领域,表现为低保制度在提高低保户对政府的信任的同时却削弱了非低保户对政府的信任。这表明,低保制度增进的是低保户对政府,更准确的说是基层政府的信任,这一发现对完善低保制度、健全低保运行机制以实现低保的认同、信任功能具有一定的价值。

The rural subsistence allowance system （the RSAS） has produced a larger negative effect during its actual operation, weakening the non--low income holders＇ trust in the government while enhancing income holders＇ trust. This indi- cates that the RSAS has exerted an impact on low income holders＇ trust in grassroots government, rather than on their trust in high--level government, because of the higher the government hierarchy is, the narrower the trust gap between the two groups gets. The one--way ANOVA analysis was conducted to compare the mean sores of govern- ment trust by the two groups of rural residents. The result reveals that the low income holders got a significantly nigher mean score. The findings have great significance in improving the RSAS and its operating mechanism, thereby .＇ontributin~ to rural residents＇ accet）tance of the system and the implementation of its trust function.
