摘要 Abstract
近年來台灣民眾對陌生人愈來愈不信任。這種不信任感容易發展成多疑心態,侵蝕人際互信的基礎,對社會秩序的維繫有害無益。本文從城鄉環境與就業身份兩項結構背景,探討多疑心態在日常生活各個層面上孕育的運作力量。實証分析依據「台灣地區社會變遷基本調查」三期二次問卷Ⅱ資料(1996年調查,樣本數2831),探討對陌生人的不信任感如何因爲這些結構背景而異。分析結果証實都市環境特別容易滋生多疑心態,尤其是現居地的環境更加重要。成長地的城鄉環境並不直接引起特殊效應,但是將成長地和現居地兩者交叉分析後,顯示那些在鄉村地區成長,目前又住在都市的民眾,最不輕易信任陌生人。多疑心態的結構背景,也透過就業身份的若干特徵清楚展現。文中分別檢驗就業行業與部門,以及管理監督結構中的位階等因素。多疑心態在次級與三級行業、自僱又僱人、受僱於私部門、服務與事務人員、高階主管這些群體或分類中特別盛行。其中行業的區別最爲關鍵,不但本身的效應鮮明,甚至還有力地制約著其他相關因素對多疑心態的作用。整體言之,城鄉環境與行業別這兩大因素,都獨立於個人特徵之外,代表著從日常生活和工作層面來了解多疑心態結構背景的社會機制。

Cynicism has become more prevalent in Taiwan over the past few years. This study explains the structural backgrounds of such a cynicism in terms of the rural-urban milieu and employment status, based on the 1996 Taiwan Social Change Survey Ⅱ (n=2831). The urban background, especially the current urban residence, proves a key factor in breeding cynicism. Among the current urban residents, in particular, those who came from the countryside exhibit the strongest cynical outlook towards strangers. Such a cynical outlook is also more common among those who work in the secondary and tertiary sectors, those self-employers who also hire a few employees, who work in the private sector, who work as service administrators, as well as high-rank managers. Among the factors related to employment status, the industry exerts most consistent effects on cynicism. The findings lead to several suggestions for more comprehensive and complicated studies.
