“…Social trust is a mutual trust relationship established between individuals through interaction, communication and common awareness, which generally include two aspects: interpersonal trust and institutional trust [47]. Among them, interpersonal trust is mainly manifested as farmers' trust in their relatives and neighbors, which is formed through interactions in daily production and life with affinity, geopolitical relations and blood ties [48]. It can eliminate the risk of uncertainty in participation and decision [49,50].…”

How to protect the ecological environment is an important international issue for achieving the sustainable development goals. Using survey data of 2628 farmers in 52 administrative villages in 13 prefecture-level cities of the China Land Economic Survey in 2020, probit and multinomial logistic regression models were used to explore the influence of social capital on farmers’ willingness, behavior and the transformation between willingness and behavior. The results show that: (1) The consistency between farmers’ willingness and behavior is low; 90.25% of farmers had the willingness to separate waste, but only 48.49% of farmers had actually classified waste, and only 48.22% of farmers had transformed willingness into behavior. (2) Among the three dimensions of social capital, social network, social norm and social trust, all had positive and significant effects on farmers’ willingness and behavior to separate waste. (3) Social network and social norm had a positive and significant impact on the transformation of farmers’ willingness to separate waste into behavior, but social trust was not significant. The research results confirm that the contradiction between farmers’ intention and behavior of waste separation were generally inconsistent in rural areas. At the same time, the results showed that social capital can promote farmers’ willingness and behavior of waste separation and the transformation from a willingness to behavior, which can provide decision-making reference for how to improve farmers’ high willingness and behavior.

“…The association remains robust when the likely mediators of social support and social capital are considered. In Confucian East Asia, the collectivistic culture promotes interdependence between significant others in homogeneous groups (Bai et al, 2019). In contrast, out-group trust fails to be associated consistently with SRH across the four countries.…”

“…In collectivistic societies, primary groups tend to govern the lives of individuals (Hofstede et al, 2010; Triandis, 1995). People give priority to group goals and communal bonds (Bai et al, 2019). As a result, particularistic ties based on a strong collective consciousness render social resources to be shared mostly within a group.…”

This study aims to examine the relationship between types of interpersonal trust and health in East Asia. We doubt that generalized trust toward “most people” is a valid and reliable measure of interpersonal trust in East Asia. We thus employ specific measures of in-group and out-group trust to test whether and how each type of trust is associated with self-rated health. We use data from the 2012 East Asian Social Survey administered in China ( n = 5819), Japan ( n = 2335), South Korea ( n = 1396), and Taiwan ( n = 2314) with response rates of 71%, 59%, 56%, and 52%, respectively. Empirical test produces three major findings. First, in-group trust is consistently associated with self-rated health in all four countries, whereas out-group trust is related to health only in Taiwan. By contrast, generalized trust is related to health only in Korea. Second, perceived social support mediates partially of the relationship between in-group trust and self-rated health in China, Japan, and Taiwan. Third, the health benefit of in-group trust is more pronounced in Korea than in China. This study thus calls for the need to use measures of specific types of trust because they are more sensitive in detecting both international and intra-regional variations of health.

“…Poulin and Haase (2015) [ 27 ] found that trust increases well-being and higher trust predicted higher well-being. Bai et al (2019) [ 28 ] found that both trust in acquaintances and trust in strangers had a significant positive correlation with subjective well-being. Guo et al (2022) [ 29 ] found that all types of trust positively predicted well-being at the individual level, and the effects of trust on well-being were enhanced by individualism.…”

New-generation migrant workers refers to those born in 1980 or thereafter, who become the majority of rural–urban migrants. New-generation migrant workers in Chinese cities are struggling with a lack of urban resources, which may lead to low well-being. On the basis of a questionnaire survey of 203 new-generation migrant workers, we used a multiple regression analysis to study new-generation migrant workers’ well-being and the mechanism underlying the effect of job mobility on well-being. The job mobility scale, interpersonal trust scale, and Affect Balance Scale were used. Results showed that job mobility was positively correlated with new-generation migrant workers’ subjective well-being and interpersonal trust, and interpersonal trust was positively correlated with subjective well-being. Interpersonal trust mediated the effect of job mobility on subjective well-being. In conclusion, job mobility can bring some benefits to new-generation migrant workers, that is, job mobility may increase their subjective well-being by increasing their interpersonal trust.
