Abstract

Individuals' endorsement of standards of civic honesty is necessary for democracies to flourish. A critical driver of civic honesty is the relationship of trust between individuals and institutions. Research has yet to systematically assess the contextual factors that may moderate this relationship. In this study, we examined the societal influence of organized criminal groups. Criminal groups operate as alternative systems of authority that erode the reliability of institutions' moral standards. We employed a new indicator that quantifies their societal influence to test the hypothesis that the association between individuals' political trust and civic honesty would weaken in countries more strongly affected by criminal groups. Multilevel evidence across 83 representative national samples (N = 128,839) supported this hypothesis. Moreover, the association between political trust and civic honesty was negative in contexts where criminal groups' influence was more extreme. We discuss the implications of the findings and future research directions.

替代制度:全球背景下犯罪集团的影响力与政治信任对公民诚信的相互影响。
个人对公民诚信标准的认可是民主政体蓬勃发展的必要条件。公民诚信的一个关键驱动因素是个人与机构之间的信任关系。目前的研究还没有系统地评估可能缓和这种关系的背景因素。在本研究中,我们考察了有组织犯罪集团的社会影响。犯罪集团作为另一种权威体系运作,削弱了机构道德标准的可靠性。我们采用了一个新的指标来量化犯罪集团的社会影响,以检验这样一个假设,即在受犯罪集团影响较大的国家,个人的政治信任与公民诚实之间的关联会减弱。83 个具有代表性的国家样本(N = 128 839)的多层次证据支持了这一假设。此外,在犯罪集团影响更为严重的情况下,政治信任与公民诚实之间的关系呈负相关。我们将讨论研究结果的意义和未来的研究方向。
