最近的工作强调，在限定不同政治制度中存在和缺乏政治信任时，需要有更大的细微差别。因此，信任的概念可以更有效地理解和分析为一个家庭，其成员包括信任，不信任和不信任。扩展到一个信任的家庭意味着，可能需要在实证调查工作中捕捉这些态度的新方法，批判性地推动这种探索的一种方式是调查性别如何影响人们对这些态度的理解。在本文中，我们使用焦点小组讨论的一系列新设计的信任，不信任和不信任的问题，以确定：1）公民如何看待这些不同的概念和2）如何性别这些看法。然后，我们利用通过TrustGov项目收集的新调查数据来测试焦点小组调查结果如何影响调查响应，从而确定：3）哪些调查问题更有可能有效地衡量这三个概念。我们表明，在我们的定性工作中强调的差异，强调需要制定一个更系统的混合方法的研究议程上的政治信任和性别的扩大家庭。我们强调，全球比较工作，以捕捉不同的政治制度不同的性别影响是该领域的必要的下一步。
Recent work has emphasised the need for greater nuance in qualifying both the presence and absence of political trust in different political systems. The concept of trust may thus be more effectively perceived and analysed as a family with trust, mistrust, and distrust as its members. Expanding to a family of trust means that new ways of capturing these attitudes in empirical survey work may be needed and a way of critically driving that exploration is to investigate how gender influences how they are understood. In this paper, we use insights from focus group discussions on a series of newly designed trust, mistrust and distrust questions to identify: 1) how citizens perceive these different concepts and 2) how gendered these perceptions are. We then draw on new survey data gathered through the TrustGov project to test how the focus group findings impact survey responses and thus identify: 3) which survey questions are more likely to effectively measure the three concepts. We show that the differences highlighted in our qualitative work underscore the need to develop a more systematic mixed methods research agenda on both the expanded family of political trust and gender. We emphasise that global comparative work to capture diverse gender effects across different political systems are the necessary next steps for the field.
