Background: Corruption perception is an important risk factor for depression. On the psychological level, corruption perception will cause negative emotions to individuals. On the physiological level, higher corruption perception may mean a more unfair social environment, which is not conducive to individuals' health. However, the mechanism linking corruption perception and depression has not been fully understood. Objective: To investigate how corruption perception affects depression, this study used trust in government and online news consumption as mediators to construct a multiple mediation model. Methods: The data used in this study were derived from the 2016 wave and 2018 wave of China Family Panel Studies (CFPS). After eliminating samples with missing values, this study finally included 7845 samples. This study used Stata version 16.0 and a longitudinal research design to investigate the relationship between corruption perception and depression. Results: The results revealed that the increase on corruption perception could aggravate depression (β = 0.037, p < 0.05). Meanwhile, trust in government partially mediated the effect of corruption perception on depression (indirect effect = 0.030, p < 0.001). Notably, online news consumption partially masked the effect of corruption perception on depression (indirect effect = −0.003, p < 0.01). Conclusion:Trust in government and online news consumption may be two important mediators between corruption perception and depression. More attention should be paid to the relationship between corruption perception and depression, and mental health promotion interventions could be tailored to alleviate depression in the future.

“…Previous literature on corruption mainly focuses on an individual's political disposition, economic condition, and political information to understand why citizens differ in how they hold their corrupt incumbent accountable. 3 3 While individual-level studies have focused on citizens' political disposition, economic condition, and political information, some scholars have examined the contextual factors such as economic growth (Zechmeister and Zizumbo-Colunga, 2013), political institutional rules (Golden and Mahdavi, 2015), or external security environment (Chang and Park, 2020). For example, scholars argue that presidential systems tend to be more corrupt than parliamentary systems because there are greater incentives for rent-seeking behavior under presidential regimes (Rose-Ackerman, 1999; Panizza, 2001;Kunicová and Rose-Ackerman, 2005).…”

This paper mainly deals with the relationship between citizens' levels of news exposure and their behaviors toward the president's corruption scandal in South Korea. In particular, we examine how an individual's level of news exposure affected his/her level of political information about the corruption scandal, perception of then President Park Geun-hye's responsibility for corruption, and participation in anti-Park protests or counter-protests. In this paper, we argue that more exposure to consistent news reports of the president's corruption increases the amount of information citizens with different political dispositions have in common. The more their sets of political information overlap, the closer their perceptions and behavioral choices regarding a corruption scandal are likely to be.
