中文摘要：

以往研究指出，人际信任有其家庭根源。本研究以198个家庭中的青少年及其父母为研究对象，采用投资博弈任务测量子女及其父母的信任水平，考察他们的信任水平的特点及父母和子女之间是否存在信任的代际传递现象。研究结果发现：（1）青少年男生的信任水平稍高于女生，父亲的信任水平高于母亲；（2）父亲和母亲的信任水平都不能预测女生的信任水平；但父亲信任水平能线性预测其儿子的信任；母亲与儿子的信任水平则呈倒U型曲线关系。本研究结果证实了信任存在代际传递的现象，并揭示了父母角色及子女性别在信任代际传递中的调节作用．对于进一步理解信任在家庭内的传递过程有启发意义。

Previous studies on intergenerational transmission found that parents could transmit some of their characteristics, values and behaviors to their children. Some researchers concluded the level of parent＇ s trust correlated to that of their child, that is, there exists intergenerational transmission of interpersonal trust. Studies from the United States of America, Canada and Germany provided evidences. By now, no empirical research has been done in China to examine the intergenerational transmission of trust.

Some studies showed that father＇ s level of trust strongly impacted on that of son, but had little influenced on daughter; whereas trust level of mother affected both son and daughter slightly. A study from Canada indicated it was mother＇ s level of trust, not father＇ s that could predict trust level of their next generation. Recently, German researchers suggestted both father＇ s and mother＇ s trust impacted their offspring＇ s trust. Althought it was not clear that who being more important for offspring＇ s development of trust, some investigations pointed out parental investment to their offspring influenced the intergenerational transmission of trust ： Parents who invest more in the upbringing of their children are more similar to them with respect to trust attitudes; thus transmit their own attitudes more strongly. A study of evolntionay psychology found that father invested in son more than daughter, while mother＇ s investment in son and daughter were same. So it can be concluded that the trust level of boy＇ s father would predict offspring＇ s trust level more strongly than that of girl＇ s father; and both boy＇ s and girl＇ s mother influence
