通过构建一个由公民参与和人际信任内生变量组成的结构模型，探讨了社会资本在个体层面形成和维持的机制。使用1995年DDB李约瑟生活方式的研究，分析模型允许检查的力量和方向的因果关系驱动的“良性循环”的参与和信任;人口，情境/上下文，定向，和态度的因素，这些潜在的变量是外源的;和这些组成部分的社会资本和观看偏好之间的联系，为特定的电视类型。结果表明：（1）公民参与与人际信任的关系主要是从参与到信任的方向;（2）电视观看在社会资本的生产中起着条件性作用，而社会资本的生产依赖于特定类型的使用。
The mechanisms underlying the formation and sustenance of social capital on the individual level were explored with a structural model composed of the endogenous variables of civic engagement and interpersonal trust. Using the 1995 DDB Needham life style study, analysis of the model permitted an examination of the strength and direction of the causal relationships driving the “virtuous circle” of participation and trust; the demographic, situational/contextual, orientational, and attitudinal factors that are exogenous to these latent variables; and the linkage between these components of social capital and viewing preferences for specific television genres. The results indicate that (1) the direction of the linkage between civic engagement and interpersonal trust is mainly from participating to trusting; and (2) television viewing plays a conditional role in the production of social capital that is dependent on the use of particular genres.
