Abstract
ABSTRACT While previous studies have investigated how trust influences risk perception, few have assessed interpersonal trust at different relationship proximities. This study employed a multilevel approach to determine how interpersonal trust affected haze risk perception (i.e. pollution haze) using data from the 2017 China Urbanization Social Survey and found the following: (1) trust in closely related persons and trust in acquaintances was positively associated with haze risk perception, while trust in strangers showed negative association; (2) the effect of trust in closely related persons on haze risk perception was stronger in areas with higher haze pollution than in areas with lower haze pollution. Based on these results, to improve haze risk perception, creating an environment that can enhance trust among closely related persons and acquaintances is important.
期刊介绍：
Environmental Sociology is dedicated to applying and advancing the sociological imagination in relation to a wide variety of environmental challenges, controversies and issues, at every level from the global to local, from ‘world culture’ to diverse local perspectives. As an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal, Environmental Sociology aims to stretch the conceptual and theoretical boundaries of both environmental and mainstream sociology, to highlight the relevance of sociological research for environmental policy and management, to disseminate the results of sociological research, and to engage in productive dialogue and debate with other disciplines in the social, natural and ecological sciences. Contributions may utilize a variety of theoretical orientations including, but not restricted to: critical theory, cultural sociology, ecofeminism, ecological modernization, environmental justice, organizational sociology, political ecology, political economy, post-colonial studies, risk theory, social psychology, science and technology studies, globalization, world-systems analysis, and so on. Cross- and transdisciplinary contributions are welcome where they demonstrate a novel attempt to understand social-ecological relationships in a manner that engages with the core concerns of sociology in social relationships, institutions, practices and processes. All methodological approaches in the environmental social sciences – qualitative, quantitative, integrative, spatial, policy analysis, etc. – are welcomed. Environmental Sociology welcomes high-quality submissions from scholars around the world.
