互联网使用能否促进村民的政治参与——基于中国综合社会调查(CGSS)2021数据的实证分析

Can Internet Use Promote Villagers' Political Participation——An Empirical Analysis Based on CGSS 2021 Data

在大力推进数字乡村建设和新时代基层民主政治的大背景下,互联网使用对村民政治参与的影响亟待关注.基于中国综合社会调查(CGSS)2021年居民问卷数据,就互联网使用对村民政治参与的影响及其作用机制进行了实证研究.结果发现:互联网使用对村民政治参与有显著的正向影响;政府信任在互联网使用与村民政治参与之间表现出部分积极的中介效应;社会公平感在互联网使用与村民政治参与之间体现出遮掩效应.进一步的异质性分析表明:互联网使用对不同类别村民政治参与的影响呈现出较大差异性.

Under the background of vigorously promoting digital village construction and grass-roots democracy in the new era,the impact of internet use on villagers' political participation needs urgent attention.Based on the residents' questionnaire data from Chinese General Social Survey(CGSS) 2021,this paper conducts an empirical study on the impact of internet use on villagers' political participation and its underlying mechanism.The research finds that internet use had a significant positive effect on villagers' political participation.Furthermore,trust in government had a partially positive mediating effect between internet use and villagers' political participation.The sense of social justice showed a masking effect between internet use and the villagers' political participation.Further heterogeneity analysis indicates that there were significant differences in the impact of internet use on the political participation of different types of villagers.
