Abstract Existing literature on the relationship between Internet use and sudden mass disturbance is controversial， mainly embodied as the two views of catalytic theory and alternative theory. Based on a large sample survey data of Chinese General Social Survey 2010 (CGSS2010)， this paper quantitatively studies the impact that Internet use exerts on peasants’ participation in sudden mass disturbance in China. Results show that， the effect that Internet use has on peasants’ participation in sudden mass disturbance is not significantly positive but significantly negative. Namely， the Internet use exerts no catalytic effect but substitution effect on peasants’ participation in sudden mass disturbance. Based on the findings and given that current scale of rural Internet users is still far smaller than that in urban China， to take effective measures to further promote the popularity of Internet use in rural areas and narrow the ruralurban information gap is of great importance for promoting the sustainable development of grassroots democracy and social harmony in rural China.
