An Empirical Study of Interpersonal Trust of University Students in the Micro Era
In order to strengthen the empirical research on interpersonal trust of university students in the micro era,a survey using micro-media and the Micro Media Interpersonal Trust Scale was conducted to measure the interpersonal trust of 420 university students.The results indicate that the interpersonal trust of university students in the micro era is relatively high.There are significant differences in interpersonal trust among university students in the micro era in terms of grade,with a significant positive correlation between higher grades and interpersonal trust.Interpersonal trust also varies significantly among university students in the micro era in terms of majors,with science and engineering students showing significantly higher interpersonal trust than students in the liberal arts.There are significant differences in interpersonal trust among university students in the micro era based on leadership experience,with students who have experience as student cadres scoring significantly higher than those without such experience.Interpersonal trust among university students in the micro era shows no significant differences in dimensions such as gender,hometown,living arrangements,micro-media usage time,and frequency.In response to these findings,it is necessary to further strengthen ideological and political education as well as psychological health education in universities,guiding young students to have a correct understanding of micro-media and shaping a proper perspective on online interpersonal trust.
