Abstract

Trust as a social capital is crucial to society and economic development. In the transitional society, the resources control rule is changing from vertical administrative domination rule to horizontal market coordination rule, leading to individuals’ different identities of resources control rule. It is just because the multivariate distribution of rule recognition (preference), trust building between anonymous individuals becomes more difficult. This article just focuses on this problem. We firstly measured individuals’ rule preference of resources control, then measure the trust belief and trust action by trust game experiment, and test whether this rule preference will affect trust between anonymous individuals. The results show the following findings: individuals have different rule preference of resources control, and this rule preference have direct influence on trust between individual, that is, the higher degree of identity of vertical administrative domination rule, the lower they trust others.
