群际交往、人际信任与社会距离——城市居民与农民工的群际关系研究

Intergroup contact,interpersonal trust and social distance: A study of the intergroup relations between the urban residents and the migrant workers

本文利用7省13市的抽样调查数据,重点考察了不同类型的群际交往以及人际信任对社会距离的影响。研究发现,不同类型的群际交往对改善城市居民和农民工之间的群际关系有不同的作用,亲密关系和同事关系的交往有助于缩小城市居民对农民工的社会距离,而邻里关系对社会距离没有显著影响。城市居民的人际信任度越高,对农民工的社会距离越小;人际信任度越高,交往频率对社会距离的影响越大。这表明群际交往的效果不仅取决于平等地位、共同目标、相互合作、制度支持和亲密关系等客观条件,还取决于个人的主观态度。

Based on the 2014 survey data from thirteen cities in seven provinces,this study analyzes the influence of different types of intergroup contact and interpersonal trust on social distance. It reveals that different types of intergroup contact have different impacts on the improvement of intergroup relations between the urban residents and the migrant workers. Both close relationship and coworker relationship can help reduce the social distance between the urban residents and the migrant workers. However,the neighborhood relationship has no significant impact on social distance.In addition,the higher the urban residents' interpersonal trust is,the smaller the social distance is. The higher the interpersonal trust is,the greater the impact of the frequency of contact has on social distance. This suggests that the impacts of intergroup contact depend not only on objective conditions such as equal status,common goals,intergroup cooperation,institutional support and close relationship,but also on the individual's subjective attitudes.
