Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the association between revealed attitudes of trust and participation in voluntary organisations and makes a contribution to the growing literature on the relation between attitudes, preferences, behaviour, and social participation (civic engagement). A distinguishing characteristic of this study is that it employs a unique data set that combines experimental and survey data of more than 3000 individuals of six Latin American cities. Results of the Trust Game show that trust is not significantly associated with civic engagement and the intensity of that engagement.
期刊介绍:
As an inter-disciplinary and cross-cultural journal dedicated to advancing a cross-level, context-rich, process-oriented, and practice-relevant journal, JTR provides a focal point for an open dialogue and debate between diverse researchers, thus enhancing the understanding of trust in general and trust-related management in particular, especially in its organizational and social context in the broadest sense. Through both theoretical development and empirical investigation, JTR seeks to open the "black-box" of trust in various contexts.
