“…(Cheung et al, 2022). Current research has shown that the perception of social fairness will affect trust,and individuals' perceptions of social fairness are signi cantly related to social trust[38][40][41][42] (Cheung et al, 2022; You, 2012; Sun et al, 2021; Li and He, 2022).…”

The development of the Internet has significantly changed the way people live and interact with each other. Interaction is the basis for building trust and may therefore also be influenced by the Internet. This study investigated whether Internet use influences people’s social trust, accounting for the perception of fairness and social support, using the latest data from the CGSS from China. The results showed that Internet use has a significant negative predictive effect on the level of social trust, and the perception of social fairness plays a fully mediating role in this relationship. That is, Internet use can indirectly reduce people's level of social trust by reducing their perception of social fairness. Furthermore, the results indicated that social support can moderate people's perceptions of social fairness and thus mitigate the negative effects of Internet use on social trust. These results suggested that we should raise the profile of the impact of internet use, actively improve people's perceptions of social fairness to increase their level of social trust, and finally, focus on the positive role of social support, which can reduce the negative impact of internet use.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

At present, many developing countries around the world are experiencing urbanization, and China has the largest scale of urbanization. The current literature mainly focuses on the relationship between economic factors, environmental factors and urbanization, ignoring the human factors. In fact, whether sufficient social security can be provided to solve people’s worries, as well as people’s social attitudes, has an important impact on their migration from rural areas to urban areas. By using the China General Social Survey (CGSS) 2018 data and constructing a binary logistic model, this paper studies the impact of social security on migration from rural areas to urban areas, as well as the mediating effects of people’s social attitudes. The results reveal that: (1) Social security has a significant positive effect on migration from rural areas to urban areas. (2) The improvement of the sense of fairness, happiness and security is conducive to the integration willingness and identity of the rural population and promotes urbanization. Therefore, social attitude plays an important mediating role. According to our study, policymakers need to consider how to build a suitable social security system and make rural residents feel safe and happy, so as to promote the sustainable development of urbanization.
