In order to better understand the interpersonal apathy of Beijing residents，the current survey examined the interpersonal apathy from three perspectives（cognition，situational response and interest-related behavior），and explored the factors predicting interpersonal apathy from both social and group levels. On social-level，we focused on the materialistic values；and on the group-level，we concerned about the community-relevant variables（including community identity and community behavior）. Through a questionnaire survey of 2042 Beijing residents，aged 17 to 67 from 16 urban districts in Beijing，the results show that：（1）In general，the degree of interpersonal apathy of Beijing residents was relatively low，which was reflected in the lower level of cognitive interpersonal apathy and a strong tendency of helping behavior. （2）Different group（such as different gender，age，objective socioeconomic status）had different extent of interpersonal apathy. Specifically，women had lower cognitive apathy，while men had stronger tendency of the helping behavior which was involved monetary benefits；the group aged 17 to 29 had higher interpersonal apathy；objective socioeconomic status exhibited distinct effects on different indicators of interpersonal apathy，individuals with high socioeconomic status were more likely to help others through donations while they were less willing to help others in a vague situation. （3）Materialism positively predicted interpersonal apathy，whereas community identity and neighborhood interaction negatively predicted interpersonal apathy. Compared with community identity，materialism and neighborhood interaction had a stronger predictive effect on interpersonal apathy. Specifically，cognitive interpersonal apathy was more susceptible to materialism and neighborhood interaction；helping behavior in a specific situation was more sensitive to community identity and neighborhood interaction，and the predictive role of neighborhood interaction was stronger than that of community identity；and interest-related helping behavior is more susceptible to materialism. According to above results，we put forward some constructive suggestions on how to intervene in materialism and improve community identity and neighborhood interaction，thereby reducing interpersonal apathy and building a harmonious society.
