Residential mobility has received considerable research attention in recent years because of its influences on many aspects of our cognitive behaviors. However, little research has been conducted to explore how residential mobility affects generalized trust. The current study was conducted to fill this gap. From individual and societal level, Studies 1a, 1b and 1c employing survey questionnaires consistently documented a negative relationship between personal history of residential moves and generalized trust (trust in strangers), but there was no association between mobility and particularistic trust (trust in known others). Study 2 found that mobility priming significantly reduced perceived trustworthiness to strangers (Study 2a) and that less money was invested to strangers when participants were primed with mobility than when primed with stability in a trust game (Study 2b). Study 3 observed that individuals who planned to move dormitories in the near future, by comparison with those not planning to move, invested less money to strangers in a trust game. In addition, the current study also found that the association between mobility and generalized trust was mediated by perceived uncertainty evoked by mobility (in Study 2b & Study 3). Theoretical implications for the mechanisms underlying the mobility effect on generalized trust are discussed.

近年来，由于住宅移动对我们认知行为的许多方面都产生了影响，因此它已引起了相当大的研究关注。但是，很少进行研究来探讨居民流动性如何影响普遍信任。进行了当前的研究以填补这一空白。从个人和社会的角度来看，采用调查问卷的研究1a，1b和1c一致记录了居住活动的个人历史与广义信任（对陌生人的信任）之间的负相关关系，但流动性和特殊信任（对已知他人的信任）之间没有关联）。研究2发现，流动性启动显着降低了对陌生人的感知信任度（研究2a），与参与者在信任博弈中为稳定性启动时相比，向参与者进行陌生人投入的资金更少（研究2b）。研究3发现，与不打算搬家的人相比，打算在不久的将来搬家的人在信任游戏中向陌生人投资的钱更少。此外，本研究还发现，流动性与广义信任之间的关联是由流动性引起的感知不确定性介导的（研究2b和研究3）。讨论了对广义信任的流动性影响机制的理论意义。与不打算搬家的人相比，在信任游戏中向陌生人投资的钱更少。此外，本研究还发现，流动性与广义信任之间的关联是由流动性引起的感知不确定性介导的（研究2b和研究3）。讨论了对广义信任的流动性影响机制的理论意义。与不打算搬家的人相比，在信任游戏中向陌生人投资的钱更少。此外，本研究还发现，流动性与广义信任之间的关联是由流动性引起的感知不确定性介导的（研究2b和研究3）。讨论了对广义信任的流动性影响机制的理论意义。
