This study presents the spillover of the negative influence of discrimination experience on generalized trust within family members in China. Drawing data from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) (2012), the author constructs dyad-level (husband–wife, father–child, and mother–child dyads) and triad-level (father–mother–child) data to examine the spillover effects. Findings show that one’s discrimination experience has a negative influence on the spouse’s trust, but not on a parent’s or a child’s trust. These results imply that family is an important institution through which discrimination decreases not only individual trust value, but also that of family members, and that such spillover depends on types of family relation. The author discusses the importance of a network perspective in understanding change in trust values at the societal level.
