本文研究了特定社会信任、一般社会信任和政治信任之间的关系，并检验了它们的各种政治、社会心理和社会资本理论。此类研究以前从未进行过，因为据我们所知，直到 2005-07 年世界价值观调查之前，还没有包括特定形式和其他形式信任衡量标准的比较调查。新数据挑战了一种普遍的假设，即特定的社会信任在现代民主国家中要么有害，要么不那么重要，并表明它与其他形式的信任有着强烈、积极的联系。然而，这种关系并不对称，特定的社会信任似乎是一般社会信任的必要而非充分条件，而两种形式的社会信任似乎都是政治信任的必要而非充分条件。个人微观层面和背景宏观层面上不同形式的信任之间相互关联的有力证据支持了造雨者效应、政治制度的重要性以及社会信任对政治信任的重要性等理论。社会信任，尤其是某一特定类型的社会信任，似乎在多种方面对社会和政治稳定具有重要影响。
This article investigates the relationships between particular social trust, general social trust, and political trust and tests a variety of political, social-psychological, and social capital theories of them. This sort of research has not been carried out before because until the World Values Survey of 2005-07 there has been, to our knowledge, no comparative survey that includes measures of particular and other forms of trust. The new data challenge a common assumption that particular social trust is either harmful or of little importance in modern democracies and shows that it has strong, positive associations with other forms of trust. However, the relationships are not symmetrical and particular social trust seems to be a necessary but not sufficient cause of general social trust, and both forms of social trust appear to be necessary, but not sufficient conditions for political trust. Strong evidence of mutual associations between different forms of trust at both the individual micro level and the contextual macro level supports theories of rainmaker effects, the importance of political institutions, and the significance of social trust for political trust. In more ways than one, social trust, not least of a particular type, seems to have an important bearing on social and political stability.
