理论：社会资本是促进收集行动问题的公民之间合作关系的网络（Coleman 1990； Putnam 1993）。尽管通常被认为是社区的财产，但社区参与与对他人的信任之间的相互关系是个人行为和态度中社会资本的证明。能力，经济资源和一般生活满意度。这种差异影响了公民对国家机构的信心，超出了实际绩效措施的特定控制。方法：我们在纳入整个汇总上下文数据的汇总框架中分析了1972年至1994年的汇集的一般社会调查。研究：公民互动和人际信任是在紧密的相互关系中，从参与到人际信任的联系更加牢固，而不是相反。
Theory: Social capital is the web of cooperative relationships between citizens that facilitates resolution of collection action problems (Coleman 1990; Putnam 1993). Although normally conceived as a property of communities, the reciprocal relationship between community involvement and trust in others is a demonstration of social capital in individual behavior and attitudes.Hypotheses: Variation in social capital can be explained by citizens' psychological involvement with their communities, cognitive abilities, economic resources, and general life satisfaction. This variation affects citizens' confidence in national institutions, beyond specific controls for measures of actual performance.Methods: We analyze the pooled General Social Surveys from 1972 to 1994 in a latent variables framework incorporating aggregate contextual data.Results: Civic engagement and interpersonal trust are in a tight reciprocal relationship, where the connection is stronger from participation to interpersonal trust, rather than the reverse.
