信息性政策工具、村级自治与农村居民垃圾分类:基于情感事件理论的跨层效应

Informative Policy Tools,Village-Level Autonomy and Waste Classification of Rural Residents:Cross-Level Effects Based on Affective Events Theory

基于情感事件理论,构建信息性政策工具与农村居民垃圾分类意愿关系的理论模型,并利用江西省63个行政村和616位农村居民的嵌套数据,通过多层线性模型(HLM)展开实证检验,分析信息性政策工具的情感机制及村级自治的跨层调节效应。结果表明:信息性政策工具可以直接或间接通过消极预期情感增强农村居民的垃圾分类意愿。在直接路径中,村级自治会削弱信息性政策工具对农村居民垃圾分类意愿的正向作用,即相对于自治水平较高的村庄,自治水平较低的村庄居民对信息性政策工具对居民垃圾分类意愿的影响更强;而在间接路径中,村级自治会促进信息性政策工具对消极预期情感的引导作用,进而正向影响农村居民的垃圾分类意愿。据此,建议筑牢预期情感基础,制定信息性政策工具,保持村级自治与信息性政策协同发展,从而激发农村居民垃圾分类意愿,推进农村垃圾分类。

Based on affective events theory,this paper constructs a theoretical model of the relationship between informative policy tools and rural residents’willingness to classify waste,and then conducting an empirical test through the Hierarchical Linear Model(HLM)to confirm the affective mechanism of informative policy tools and the cross-level regulation effect of village-level autonomy by using nested data from 63 administrative villages and 616 rural households in Jiangxi province.The results show that informative policy tools could strengthen rural residents’willingness to classify waste either directly or indirectly through negative anticipatory emotions.In the direct path,village-level autonomy weaken the positive effect of informative policy tools on rural residents’willingness to classify waste.In other words,comparing with the higher village-level autonomy,this effect is stronger within lower village-level autonomy.While in the indirect path,village-level autonomy promotes the effect of informative policy tools to steer negative anticipatory emotion,which positively influences rural residents’willingness to classify waste.Accordingly,it is recommended that informative policy tools should build a firm foundation of rural residents’anticipatory emotion,and village-level autonomy should be developed in concert with informative policy tools,so as to activate rural residents’willingness to classify waste and promote waste classification in rural area.
