社会交往对亲环境行为的影响:社会信任与环境关心的中介作用

The Impact of Social Interaction on Pro-Environmental Behavior: The Mediating Role of Social Trust and Environmental Concern

本研究基于社会互动理论、价值基础理论和社会邻近性理论,深入探讨社会交往对亲环境行为的影响机制,并全面考察社会信任与环境关心的作用。研究采用社会交往量表、亲环境行为量表、社会信任量表、环境关心量表,对215名居民进行调查。结果显示:(1)社会交往与社会信任呈显著正相关(r=0.69,p<0.01)、社会交往与环境关心呈显著正相关(r=0.49,p<0.01)、亲环境行为呈显著正相关(r=0.44,p<0.01);(2)社会交往正向预测亲环境行为(β=0.68,p<0.001);(3)社会信任在社会交往与亲环境行为之间起中介作用(β=0.27,p<0.001),环境关心在社会交往与亲环境行为之间起中介作用(β=0.23,p<0.001)。结论:社会交往可以通过社会信任和环境关心的中介作用预测居民的亲环境行为。因此,加强构建和谐的社会关系,充分利用社会交往对亲环境行为的积极作用,推进社会和谐与进步;培养民众对社会成员、社会组织以及社会制度的信任,营造全社会积极参与环境保护的氛围;加强全社会的环境关心教育,提高公众对环境保护的意识和责任感,推动全社会的可持续绿色发展。

Based on social interaction theory,social capital theory,and value foundation theory,this study deeply explored the impact mechanism of social interaction on pro-environmental behavior,and comprehensively examined the mediating role of social trust and environmental concern in it.The study surveyed 215 residents using the social interaction scale,pro-environmental behavior scale,social trust scale,and environmental concern scale.Results:(1)Social interaction was significantly positively correlated with social trust(r=0.69,p<0.01),environmental concern(r=0.49,p<0.01),and pro-environmental behavior(r=0.44,p<0.01);(2)Social interaction positively predicted pro-environmental behavior(β=0.68,p<0.001);(3)Social trust plays a mediating role between social interaction and pro-environmental behavior(β=0.27,p<0.001),environmental concern also plays a mediating role between the two(β=0.23,p<0.001).Conclusions:Social interaction can predict residents'pro-environmental behavior through the mediating effect of social trust and environmental concern.Therefore,we should strengthen the construction of harmonious social relationships,fully utilize the positive effect of social interaction on pro-environmental behavior,and promote social harmony and progress;Cultivate public trust in social members, organizations, and systems, and create an atmosphere of active participation in environmental protection throughout society;Strengthen the education of environmental concern for the whole society, enhance public awareness and sense of responsibility for environmental protection, and promote sustainable green development of the whole society.
