我国居民的社会阶层与一般信任:社会排斥与控制感的链式中介作用

Social Class and Generalized Trust among Chinese Adults:Serial Mediating Effect of Ostracism and Control

目的:探究社会阶层对我国居民一般信任水平的影响以及社会排斥和控制感在二者之间的作用机制。方法:采用主观社会经济地位MacArthur量表、社会排斥体验量表、控制感量表和一般信任问卷,对全国范围内1595名居民进行调查。结果:主观社会阶层与社会排斥呈显著负相关,与控制感和一般信任呈显著正相关;主观社会阶层能够分别通过社会排斥和控制感的中介作用,以及社会排斥和控制感的链式中介作用,影响我国居民的一般信任水平。结论:社会阶层既可以正向预测居民的一般信任水平,也可以通过社会排斥和控制感的链式中介作用间接影响一般信任水平。

Objective:To explore the serial mediating effect of ostracism and control between social class and generalized trust among Chinese adults.Methods:Totally 1595 Chinese adults completed the MacArthur Scale,the Ostracism Experience Scale,the Sense of Control Scale and the Generalized Trust Scale.Results:Individuals’subjective social classes were significantly negatively correlated with ostracism and positively correlated with their sense of control and generalized trust;ostracism and sense of control not only separately but also serially mediated the relationship of social class and generalized trust.Conclusion:This study confirmsthe serial mediating effect of ostracism and control between social class and generalized trust.
