WORKSHOP: Institutional Trust and Confidence: An Interdisciplinary Workshop, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, April 24-25, 2014

该研讨会将通过汇集来自各种社会科学领域的高级和初级研究人员来推进信托研究（包括犯罪学、法学、管理学、政治学、心理学、公共管理学和社会学），对机构信任的综合理论感兴趣。对机构的信任对于组织、法院和司法系统的治理和运作至关重要，尽管有如此多的学科研究与信任相关的问题和影响与信任相关的政策，但在发展制度信任和信心的综合框架方面相对较少。研讨会将结合多个研究领域，建立信任理论和信任的质量措施。它扩展了专注于测量信任，信心和感知合法性和正义的研究人员的工作。通过汇集来自不同研究人员的见解，该研讨会将促进对信任和信心的认识，为社会科学领域做出贡献，并进一步实现对信任的综合理解的目标。扩展多个研究领域有很大的潜力来改变我们对这一主题的理解。更广泛的影响：衡量信任对决策至关重要。对政府缺乏信任一直是各政治派别感到沮丧的一个原因，官员们试图重新赢得公众对各种机构的信任。与此相关，在商业中，增强信任是成功的核心。因此，更好地理解信任具有帮助社会的巨大潜力。参加这次讲习班的研究人员将继续通过其咨询服务和研究出版物影响各机构和组织。该研讨会还将帮助初级研究人员和学生，让他们接触社会科学领域的领导者，并提供机会参与开发一本关于信任的随书。最后，我们将准备一份最终报告，以便本次研讨会？的贡献可以作为其他研究项目和聚会的典范。

The Workshop will advance trust research by bringing together senior and junior researchers from a variety of social science areas (including criminology, law, management, political science, psychology, public administration, and sociology) who are interested in moving toward integrated theories of institutional trust.Intellectual Merit: Trust in institutions is critical to governing and the functioning of organizations, courts and judicial systems, and so on. Despite so many disciplines studying trust-related issues and influencing trust-related policies, there is relatively little in the development of an integrated framework of institutional trust and confidence. The Workshop will incorporate multiple research areas to build trust theory and quality measures of trust. It extends the work of researchers who have focused on measuring trust, confidence, and perceived legitimacy and justice. By bringing together insights from diverse researchers, the Workshop will advance knowledge on trust and confidence, contributing to areas of social science and furthering the goal of an integrated understanding of trust. Incorporating multiple research areas has great potential to transform our understanding of this topic. Broader Impacts: Measuring trust is essential for policymaking. Lack of trust in government has been a source of frustration across the political spectrum, and officials seek to regain public trust in various institutions. Relatedly, in business, enhancing trust is core to success. Thus, better understanding trust has tremendous potential to assist society. The researchers involved in this Workshop will continue influencing institutions and organizations through their consulting services and research publications. The Workshop will also aid junior researchers and students, exposing them to leaders across areas of social science, and offering the opportunity participate in the development of an accompanying book on trust. Finally, we will prepare a final report so that this Workshop?s contribution can be used as a model for other research projects and gatherings.
