差序格局下的宗教信仰和信任——基于中国十城市的经验数据

Abstract

Abstract:

At present, researchers have not reached a consensus on the relationship between religion and trust. Based on the data from 10 Chinese cities, this study analyzed the impact of religious faith on social trust, general trust, and trust of groups along different radiuses in the differentiated model of association. The study had following findings: (1) religion had significant positive effects on trust, especially on social trust; (2) the effects of religion on trust got stronger when the radius in the differentiated model of association became longer; and (3) the mechanism of religion’s function on trust was mainly in its faith effect rather than organizational effect, which partly explained the contradiction in the current conclusions about the relationships between religion and trust.

Key words: identity , religious faith , social capital , trust
