摘要

虽然政治科学家对政治信任进行了深入研究,但很少关注公民对主要政党缺乏信任的影响。政党是负责组建执政联盟并引导选举他们的多数人的政策偏好的机构;因此,我们假设,对各方的不信任可能会产生一些令人不快的后果。也就是说,这种信任可以被精英们武器化,并导致对对方政策建议的强烈反对。利用皮尤研究中心的一个独特数据集,并利用一个创新工具,我们分析了信任政党以道德和诚实的方式执政对公共政策的支持是如何受到影响的。我们的结果是不一致的。我们发现,那些信任共和党人以合乎道德和诚实的方式执政的受访者,会以反对民主党的政策立场来奖励该党。相反,我们发现,那些相信民主党会以道德和诚实的方式执政的人对公共政策的支持没有变化。这些结果的理论含义说明了民粹主义在美国的兴起,我们在结论中也简要讨论了这个话题。

Trust in the American political parties and support for public policy: Why Republicans benefit from political distrust
While political trust is well researched by political scientists, little attention has been paid to the repercussions of citizens’ lack of trust in the major political parties. Political parties are the institutions responsible for forming governing coalitions and channelling the policy preferences of the majorities that elected them; thus, we hypothesise that distrust in the parties can have some unsavory consequences. Namely that trust can be weaponized by elites and lead to fervent opposition to the other party’s policy proposals. Using a unique dataset from the Pew Research Centre, and leveraging an innovative instrument, we analyze how support for public policy is affected by trusting the parties to govern ethically and honestly. Our results are heterogenous. We find that respondents who trust the Republicans to govern ethically and honestly reward the party with opposition to the Democrats’ policy positions. Conversely, we find no change in support for public policy among those who trust the Democrats to govern ethically and honestly. The theoretical implications of these results speak to the rise of populism in America, a topic we also briefly address in the conclusion.

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.
