How to Build User Trust? A Study on Risk Perception and Psychological Mechanisms in the E-Commerce Payment Process

摘要: 网络支付是电子商务经济实现交易闭环的核心支柱，其普及程度与用户信任水平直接关系到电商产业的活力与效率。本文立足于电子商务经济发展的宏观背景，重点探讨作为其关键基础设施的网络支付如何构建用户信任。论文在肯定技术基础重要性的同时，强调用户的心理决策是影响电商交易达成与持续的关键。本文系统整合了电子商务交易理论与相关的社会心理学概念(如信任、风险感知、社会证明)，旨在构建一个以电商经济为核心、以心理机制为补充的分析框架。首先，论文阐述了信任作为电商经济发展催化剂的功能，分析了网络支付信任的多维结构(认知、情感、制度)及其在电商交易中的具体体现。其次，深入剖析了电商支付场景下风险感知的多维性与主观建构性，特别是其“社会放大”效应如何通过社交媒体影响电商消费信心。再次，探讨了社会证明、社会规范等社会心理因素在降低电商消费不确定性、塑造支付意愿中的作用。最后，在评述现有研究的基础上，从深化电商实践应用、开展跨文化比较、关注新兴技术影响等角度提出了未来研究方向。本文旨在为电商平台及支付服务提供商优化用户体验、构建可信交易环境提供理论依据与策略启示。

Abstract: Online payment is the core pillar that completes the transaction loop in the e-commerce economy, and its adoption rate and user trust level directly impact the vitality and efficiency of the e-commerce industry. Grounded in the macro context of e-commerce development, this paper focuses on how user trust is built through online payment, a key infrastructure. While acknowledging the importance of technological foundations, it emphasizes that users’ psychological decision-making is crucial for initiating and sustaining e-commerce transactions. This study systematically integrates e-commerce transaction theory with relevant social psychology concepts (e.g., trust, risk perception, social proof) to construct an analytical framework centered on the e-commerce economy, supplemented by psychological mechanisms. Firstly, the paper elaborates on the function of trust as a catalyst for e-commerce development, analyzing the multidimensional structure of online payment trust (cognitive, affective, institutional) and its specific manifestations in e-commerce transactions. Secondly, it delves into the multidimensionality and subjective construction of risk perception in the e-commerce payment context, particularly how its “social amplification” effect influences consumer confidence via social media. Thirdly, it explores the role of social psychological factors like social proof and social norms in reducing uncertainty in online consumption and shaping payment intentions. Finally, based on a review of existing research, future directions are proposed from perspectives such as deepening practical e-commerce applications, conducting cross-cultural comparisons, and addressing the impact of emerging technologies. This paper aims to provide a theoretical basis and strategic insights for e-commerce platforms and payment service providers to optimize user experience and build a trustworthy transaction environment.
