主观社会阶层影响普遍信任——未来时间洞察力与社会流动信念的作用
Subjective Social Class and Generalized Trust—The Roles of Future Time Perspective and Social Mobility Beliefs
摘要: 研究基于资源保存理论，探讨主观社会阶层对普遍信任的影响机制。以大学生为被试，采用问卷法考察未来时间洞察力的中介作用及社会流动信念的调节作用。结果发现：(1) 主观社会阶层正向预测普遍信任；(2) 未来时间洞察力在主观社会阶层与普遍信任之间起中介作用；(3) 社会流动信念调节了主观社会阶层对未来时间洞察力的影响，高社会流动信念削弱了阶层间的差异。研究揭示了阶层影响信任的时间认知路径及其边界条件。
Abstract: Grounded in conservation of resources theory, this study examined the mechanism underlying the effect of subjective social class on generalized trust. Using a questionnaire survey with college students, we investigated the mediating role of future time perspective and the moderating role of social mobility beliefs. Results indicated that: (1) subjective social class positively predicted generalized trust; (2) future time perspective mediated the relationship between subjective social class and generalized trust; (3) social mobility beliefs moderated the effect of subjective social class on future time perspective, such that high social mobility beliefs attenuated the class-based differences. This study reveals the temporal-cognitive pathway through which social class influences trust and its boundary conditions.
