在这篇文章中，作者评估广义信任的起源。除了研究个人层面的决定因素，分析的重点是政治体制背景。与迄今为止的大多数分析相反，作者对世界价值观调查（1995-1997年和1999-2001年）进行了等级分析，同时测试了58个国家的答卷人之间的差异以及不同体制结构国家之间信任程度的差异。此外，作者通过引入制度的权力分享质量-一个相当被忽视的制度维度，扩展了信任的制度理论。关于最重要的背景因素，作者发现，那些当局被视为廉洁的国家，那些福利国家制度减少收入差距的国家，以及那些政治利益以与其权重成比例的方式被代表的国家，其公民更有可能相互信任。
In this article, the authors evaluate the origins of generalized trust. In addition to examining individual-level determinants, the analytic focus is on the political-institutional context. In contrast to most of the analyses to date, the authors conduct hierarchical analyses of the World Values Surveys (1995-1997 and 1999-2001) to simultaneously test for differences among respondents in 58 countries and for variations in levels of trust between countries with different institutional configurations. In addition, the authors extend the institutional theory of trust by introducing the power-sharing quality of institutions-a rather neglected institutional dimension hitherto. With regard to the most important contextual factors, the authors find that countries whose authorities are seen as incorruptible, whose institutions of the welfare state reduce income disparities, and whose political interests are represented in a manner proportional to their weight have citizens who are more likely to place trust in one another.
