How do Cultural Values Influence Police-people Trust?A Moderated Chain Mediation Model
In order to investigate the mechanism by which cultural values influence police-people trust,a moderated chain mediation model of cultural values on police-people trust is constructed by using the framework of"cultural values-perceptual feelings-cognitive evaluation-police-people trust".Based on the empirical results from a sample of 730 participants,it is found that the four sub-dimensions of cultural values—collective orientation,relationship orientation,interpersonal orientation,and harmonious orientation—positively impact police-people trust.Cultural values affect the image of the police through external perceived police efficacy,which in turn positively mediates the chain of police-people trust.Furthermore,sense of well-being enhances the positive influence of interpersonal orientation and harmonious orientation on external perceived police efficacy and moderates the chain mediation effect on police-people trust.By exploring the mechanism behind police-people trust from the perspective of cultural values,this study sheds light on the significance of local values in fostering strong relationships between law enforcement agencies and communities.It also highlights that public security authorities should consider people's value heterogeneity when developing the policy campaigns aimed at building positive relationships with communities.
