Abstract:

The openness and freedom of the Internet brings convenience of learning and life to college students,
but it also produced a bigger network trust crisis. From the structure of factors affecting interpersonal trust of
college students in the new media era and the questionnaire survey and expert scoring, four main factors are
summarized: personal factors, network platform factors, environmental factors and network contents. It is found
that network contents and personal factors are the most important factors influencing interpersonal trust, and the
importance and the reliability of contents and the individual cognitive ability will directly influence others for
personal trustworthiness judgment. On this basis, the four-in-one mechanism of “society - university - family -
self” to enhance the credibility of the network is put forward, in order to create the harmonious network
environment.

Key words:  new media, college students, interpersonal trust, influencing factors, trust crisis
