个体相对脆弱性与信任倾向

Individual Relative Vulnerability and Trust Tendency

人们拥有的资源越多,抵抗风险的能力越高,相对脆弱性越低,越倾向于信任。以经济满意度作为资源状况的代理变量,受教育水平和工作通过影响经济满意度进而影响信任倾向。运用第六波世界价值观调查(WVS)中国部分的数据得出,经济满意度越高,个体信任倾向越高;教育水平越高,个体信任倾向越高;是否有工作对信任的影响符号为正,但不显著,这是因为WVS把务农也视为有工作。美国农业工人的收入比无工作的人只高不低,是否有工作拟合美国的数据具有显著性,当控制中美国家变量时,是否有工作对信任具有显著正向影响。

The more resources we have,the lower our relative vulnerability and the more we tend to trust.Taking economic satisfaction as the proxy variable of resources situation,education level and work affect the trust tendency through economic satisfaction.Using the data of the sixth wave of World Values Survey(WVS)in China,it is concluded that the higher the economic satisfaction,the higher the individual's trust tendency;the higher the education level,the higher the individual's trust tendency.Work has a positive effect on trust tendency but not significant because WVS considers farming as work.The farmers'income in the USA is higher than jobless people,work fits the data of the United States better than that of China.If we control the cultural differences between China and USA,work has a significant positive effect on trust tendency.
