In this research, researcher defined trust as two-dimensional concept. Cognition-based trust is composed of the competences of the interactive person. Affect-based trust is mainly composed of the past interactive experiences of the person. In the Chinese culture, the affections of children to parents usually influenced by parents’ capabilities. Therefore, two kinds of trust could not be separated clearly. This thesis proposes that adding situations’ cues can help people distinguish between cognition- and affect- based trust. Situations provide the cues for distinguishing cognition- and affect- based trust, like parents’ specific ability or familiarity of certain issue. In this research, there were two studies to test the hypotheses. Study 1 focused on distinguishing between cognition- and affect- based trust in parent-adolescent conflicts involving different issues. Study 2 explored the different functions of cognition- and affect- based trust on empathy to parents and reflective thinking about the conflict events. The results of factor analysis in Study1 showed the constructed questionnaire of parent-adolescent trust had two-factor structure in different conflict events on which parent and adolescent interact with each other. The strength of cognition-based trust depended on the events and parent whom adolescent trusts. The strength of affect-based trust was different between mother-adolescent and father-adolescent relationship, and was stable across events. The result of SEM in Study 2 showed that cognition- and affect- based trust, adolescent to parents, had positive relationships with empathy to parents and reflective thinking about the conflict events. The strength of relationships was different, which depended on the different conflict events and the interactive objects.
