摘　　要：文章关注在不同政治制度下,公众的互联网使用如何影响其政治机构信任度。通过利用最新的世界价值观以及相关数据库来构建个体与国家的多层次的实证模型,研究发现:个体的互联网使用频率显著拉低了公众政治机构信任度;更重要的,这一负面效应在民主程度较低的国家更为强烈,因为相较于成熟的民主国家,这些国家较低的非传统政治参与会加剧互联网的负面影响。通过熵均衡对样本进行平衡性处理后,上述发现依然稳健。由此可见,互联网带给非民主国家的政治冲击是国家治理与民主转型的双重压力。Using public opinion data from the latest World Values Survey, this study analyzes how public inter- net use and unconventional political participation affects political institutional trust. Through the empirical anal- ysis, this article finds that individual internet use, but not the usage rate of mobile phone or internet at the country level, lowers public political trust. Furthermore, we find that in less democratic countries, there exists a stronger negative correlation between internet use and public institutions trust, and the mechanism is likely to be that the lower degree of unconventional political participation in those countries intensifies this negative cor- relation. After reweighting with entropy balancing, our findings are also robust. The findings above illustrate the rising of the internet has brought dual pressures of national governance and democratic transition to non - de- mocracies, and help contribute to a better understanding about the rising of political culture of critical citizens and the political influence of internet in different regimes.
