Exploring the Implicit Psychological Structure of Ethnic Trust Within the Framework of Chinese National Community
Utilizing the Activation Diffusion Model,with"ethnic trust"as the target word,667 participants were asked to perform word associations.The collected 3994 words were then analyzed through processes such as summarization,synonym merging,and sim-plification.The top 100 high-frequency words(accounting for 81.50%of the total frequency)were used as units of analysis.Addi-tionally,31 participants were asked to perform a classification task,and systematic cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling analy-sis were conducted based on the degree of familiarity between the words.The results show that:1.The term"ethnic trust"can be char-acterized in the minds of Chinese people in four aspects:reciprocal symbiotic relationships,personal moral norms,the concept of a close-knit Chinese nation and social moral norms.2.The implicit psychological structure of ethnic trust presents a two-dimensional spatial structure,including the"interpersonal-intergroup"ethnic objective boundary dimension and the"familiar-unfamiliar"rela-tionship intimacy dimension.These findings reflect the conceptual understanding of ethnic trust among various ethnic groups within the framework of the Chinese National Community and will contribute to the construction of an independent knowledge system in the field of ethnic trust in China.
