Abstract: This research chiefly investigates the subdomain of trust: is interpersonal trust-distrust unidimensional or bidimensional? The Chinese undergraduate trust-distrust questionnaire is emended.After exploratory factor analysis, parallel analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis, the data comes down to two factors: one is a trait factor; the other is a method factor.Therefore, the unidimensional view is received.Furthermore, after descriptive analysis and correlation analysis, conclusions are drawn that the trust status quo of Chinese undergraduates is relatively good; and their trust behavior correlates with gender and major.

Key words: trust-distrust, unidimensional view, bidimensional view, parallel analysis
