The study aims to explore the effect of security on social trust and the roles of life satisfaction and ostracism among Chinese adults. Toward this end, the study recruited 1,206 Chinese adults to complete the Security Questionnaire, Social Trust Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Ostracism Experiences Scale. Results show that (a) security is positively correlated with social trust among Chinese adults, (b) life satisfaction partially mediates the effect of security on social trust, and (c) ostracism moderates the relationship between security and social trust. Furthermore, findings indicate that security can directly predict social trust as well as indirectly predict social trust through life satisfaction for adults in China. Security has a strong predictive effect on social trust - especially for individuals with low levels of ostracism.
本研究旨在探讨安全对中国成年人社会信任的影响，以及生活满意度和排斥感在其中的作用。为此，研究招募了 1206 名中国成年人，让他们完成安全问卷、社会信任问卷、生活满意度量表和排斥感经历量表。结果表明：（a）安全与中国成年人的社会信任呈正相关；（b）生活满意度部分中介了安全对社会信任的影响；（c）排斥感调节了安全与社会信任之间的关系。此外，研究结果还表明，安全既可以直接预测社会信任，也可以通过生活满意度间接预测社会信任，对于中国的成年人来说都是如此。安全对社会信任具有很强的预测作用——尤其是对于那些排斥感较低的个体。
