在许多情况下，包括新冠肺炎这样的公共卫生危机，信任对于有效治理至关重要，这是司空见惯的。我们认为，信任应该被更好地理解为信任、不信任和不信任这一系列概念，而每一个概念对新冠肺炎的治理都可能产生不同的影响。基于2020年5月至6月在澳大利亚、意大利、英国和美国进行的具有全国代表性的调查所测试的原始指标，我们探索了这些不同类型的信任与公民对新冠肺炎构成的威胁的感知及其行为反应之间的关系。我们展示了围绕新冠肺炎危机的公共政策动态是如何由信任家族的每个成员推动的，政策制定者可能会从促进一个寻求信息和不信任的社会、而不是一个信任的社会中获得更多好处。
It is commonplace to claim that trust is essential to effective governance in many contexts, including that of a public health crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. We argue that trust is better understood as a family of concepts - trust, mistrust and distrust - and each of these may have different implications for the governance of COVID-19. Drawing on original measures tested through nationally representative surveys conducted in Australia, Italy, the UK and the USA between May and June 2020, we explore how these distinct types of trust are associated with citizens' perceptions of the threat posed by COVID-19, and their behavioural responses to it. We show how public policy dynamics around the COVID-19 crisis are driven by each of the trust family members and that policymakers might gain more from promoting an information-seeking and mistrusting society, rather than a trusting one.
