世俗与自我解放价值观对当代中国政治信任的影响——基于路径分析的中介效应研究

The Influence of Secular Value and Emancipative Value on Contemporary China’s Political Trust: a Study Based on the Multiple Mediation Effects

文章从文化论角度分析了世俗价值观与自我解放价值观对中国政治信任的影响。在维泽尔“自我赋权”的理论框架下，“物质资源”、“智力资源”、“信息资源”通过自我解放价值观的中介作用影响着政治信任。基于“世界价值观调查”2012年中国区的调研数据，文章发现个人生活条件对政治信任的直接效应更加明显，但通过自我解放价值观的中介效应仍近似存在；受教育程度通过两个价值观变量的部分中介效应对政治信任产生负作用；现代信息获取方式直接对政治信任产生负作用；传统信息获取方式通过世俗价值观的中介效应对政治信任产生正向作用。世俗与自我解放价值观均对政治信任产生负作用，其中，世俗价值观的影响更大。

This paper analyzes the political trust in China from the perspective of cultural explanations. Based on Wave 6 data from the World Values Survey, I find that both secular value and emancipative value exert a negative impact on political trust in China. Moreover, empirical results are that individual living conditions have a direct, positive influence on political trust, while the indirect effect by the mediation of emancipative value also exists to some extent. Through the multiple mediation of both secu- lar and emancipative value, education level influences political trust indirectly. People using modern access to information have a decreasing political trust. On the contrary, traditional information access exerts a positive influence on political trust through secular value mediation.
