考试制度信任对大学生学业投入意向的影响

Impacts of Examination Institutional Trust on College Students' Academic Engagement Intention

对制度公平性的感知会影响人们对制度的信任,如果人们相信考试制度是公平的,每个人在这样的制度安排下拥有平等的机会,是否会愿意将更多的时间和精力投入到学习中呢?研究1通过启动119名和112名本科三年级学生对考研制度的信任与不信任,考察其对学业投入意向的影响,结果发现相比在考研制度不信任条件下,信任条件下个体的学业投入意向更高。研究2通过启动被试对一般考试制度的信任与不信任,考察其对学业投入意向的影响,结果表明即使不是和个体直接相关的某项具体考试制度,仅仅是对一般考试制度的信任也能有效影响个体学业投入意向。

Perceptions of the fairness of the social institution may affect individual＇ s trust in institutions. To our knowledge, however, there were no experimental studies examining how institutional trust affected individuals＇ academic engagement intention. By priming the trust or distrust of two samples consisted of 119 and 112 junior students, Study 1 explored how the people＇s institutional trust in the graduate school entrance exam affected academic engagement intention. The result showed that academic engagement intention was significantly higher under the condition of institutional trust than under the condition of institutional distrust. Study 2 examined the effects of the people＇s institutional trust in the graduate school entrance exam, civil service examination and recruitments on academic engagement intention. The result indicated that trust in the general examination institutions can also have effect on participants＇ academic engagement intention. In a word, examination institutional trust can increase the college students＇ academic engagement intention.
