Abstract：General trust is an important measure for social progress. Rapid social transformation and frequent social mobility constitute the structural background for the formation and evolution of general trust in China. From the perspective of rational choice theory and based on the 2017 China General Social Survey data (CGSS2017), this paper uses multiple linear regression, interaction effect analysis and second-order interaction analysis to study the influence of communication perimeter on the generational difference in general trust and the regulatory effect of the Internet use in this regard. The results show that there are distinct generational differences in general trust, and the communication perimeter and the Internet use are important factors to generational effect of general trust. To be specific, the general trust of different generations in China has experienced an L-shaped process of rapid decline at first and slow rise later. In the age bracket from the pre-40s generation to the post-80s generation, the general trust level of each generation is on the decline, while the general trust of the post-90s generation is somewhat on the rise in comparison with the post-80s generation. The expansion of communication perimeter among different generations is an important reason for the constant decline of general trust. The larger the communication perimeter, the lower the general trust level, and the decline of general trust level caused by the expansion of communication perimeter is more significant in the post-60s, post-70s and post-80s generations. The wide use of the Internet increases the weakening effect of communication perimeter on general trust. The longer the Internet time, the stronger the weakening effect of communication perimeter on general trust. Chinese people prefer strong relationships. If weak relationships in social networks cannot be transformed into strong relationships, the expansion of communication perimeter will be a burden for the development of general trust.
