Identification of Relationships between Participation and Trust in Government

本文辨析了两种不同的参与驱动机制：吸纳式参与和关切式参与。前者以吸纳积极分子、动员现有的高政府信任者为特征；后者以参与者的公共关切驱动为特征,参与者未必对于政府持有高信任态度。在个体层面的数据分析中,两种驱动机制可能都会呈现出政府信任与参与行为之间的相关关系,但是看似相同的相关模式背后隐藏着截然不同的内在动力机制。对此问题的解决办法是引入个体与集体两个分析层次。本文用多层次分析方法初步揭示了社区参与、社会组织参与两种参与形式和政府信任之间的因果机制差异。

In this paper, two mechanisms of participation are identified: absorbed participation and critical participation. In absorbed participation, people having high trust in government are absorbed into participation activities. In critical participation, people having public  concern or critical  attitude are attracted into participation activities. Those two mechanisms may have similar association pattern in individual- level data analyses, but the causal relationship is different. The solution to identification problem is to analyze data in both individual-level and aggregate-level. Using data of "social attitude and social development survey", multilevel model analysis illustrates different causal mechanisms of community participation and social organizational participation. To better understand the relationship between participation and trust in government, the participation mechanisms and connotations of trust should be discussed.
