Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aimed to predict individual social trust with both individual- and country-level characteristics. We hypothesized that individual social trust will be affected by human values at the individual level and cultural characteristics at the national level. The hypotheses were verified by a multilevel analysis of data from the World Values Survey Wave 5 (2005–2009) and Wave 6 (2010–2014) covering 64,548 individuals in 45 countries. It was found that among individual values, universalism, stimulation, power, and self-direction were positively related to individual social trust. Factors that were negatively associated were security and achievement. Among the cultural dimensions, individualism was positively related to social trust, whereas uncertainty avoidance was negatively associated. Among the respondents, those who were older, more educated, and in higher income brackets showed higher levels of social trust. The findings here indicate that social trust is not only an individual property but also a property of society.

社会信任是个人特征还是社会属性?

摘要本研究旨在预测具有个体和国家两个层面特征的个体社会信任。我们假设个体社会信任会受到个人层面的人类价值观和国家层面的文化特征的影响。这些假设通过对世界价值观调查第五波(2005-2009)和第六波(2010-2014)数据的多层次分析得到验证，这些数据涵盖了45个国家的64,548个人。结果发现，在个体价值观中，普遍主义、激励、权力和自我导向与个体社会信任呈正相关。与之负相关的因素是安全感和成就。在文化维度中，个人主义与社会信任正相关，而不确定性规避与社会信任负相关。在被调查者中，年龄越大、受教育程度越高、收入越高的人对社会的信任度越高。研究结果表明，社会信任不仅是个人的属性，也是社会的属性。
