During periods of crisis, trust and solidarity help people come together to solve difficult problems and unify behind solutions. Alternatively, low levels of trust may hamper the effectiveness of crisis responses and threaten the integrity of institutions. This project surveys thousands of Americans to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic and broader climate shape feelings of trust and community solidarity. The project will study how crises affect trust and solidarity, and in turn how trust and solidarity influence how people think and behave. The survey will ask Americans a broad range of questions designed to understand their perceptions of the pandemic and attitudes towards the decisions made to combat its effects. Findings from the project will not only help decision-makers to better understand the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic but will also inform future responses to public health crises. This project will study how the pandemic has shaped social trust and community solidarity using three new waves of the COVID-19 Social Change Survey (CSCS). First fielded in March 2020, the CSCS drew a nationally representative sample of 8,000 Americans, oversampling individuals over age 55. The survey so far has included four waves pulled from the initial respondents. This new phase of the survey will involve three new waves, combining re-contacts with additional respondents to produce nationally representative samples of approximately 5,000 individuals. Additional waves are planned for April/May 2021, October/November 2021, and October/November 2022. Findings from the project will inform sociological theories of institutions, communities, and social trust. The project will also provide an interactive data tool that can be used by the public, by students, and by other researchers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在危机期间，信任和团结有助于人们团结起来解决困难问题，并在解决方案背后团结起来。另外，信任程度低可能会妨碍危机应对的有效性，并威胁到机构的完整性。该项目调查了数千名美国人，以了解COVID-19大流行和更广泛的气候如何塑造信任感和社区团结。该项目将研究危机如何影响信任和团结，以及信任和团结如何影响人们的思维和行为。这项调查将向美国人提出一系列广泛的问题，旨在了解他们对这一流行病的看法以及对为消除其影响而作出的决定的态度。该项目的研究结果不仅有助于决策者更好地了解COVID-19大流行的影响，还将为未来应对公共卫生危机提供信息。 该项目将利用三波新的COVID-19社会变化调查（CSCS）研究疫情如何塑造社会信任和社区团结。CSCS于2020年3月首次部署，抽取了8，000名美国人的全国代表性样本，对55岁以上的个人进行了过度抽样。到目前为止，这项调查已经包括了从最初的受访者中抽取的四波。这一新阶段的调查将包括三个新的阶段，将重新接触更多的答卷人，以产生具有全国代表性的大约5 000人的样本。计划于2021年4月/5月，2021年10月/11月和2022年10月/11月进行额外的波浪。该项目的调查结果将为机构，社区和社会信任的社会学理论提供信息。该项目还将提供一个可供公众、学生和其他研究人员使用的交互式数据工具。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
