Abstract
ABSTRACTWhile 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.
