本文评估了社会资本的基础，衡量在瑞士的社会信任。具体来说，标准观点认为，自愿协会内部面对面的互动是创造社会资本的主要方式（所谓的托克维尔模型）将受到挑战。虽然没有提供支持的论点，积极的成员在协会促进社会信任，我们的研究结果强烈支持的解释，指出个人资源，社会背景变量，心理决定因素，和个人态度，这只能通过家庭内的社会化过程和成年早期的经历来解释。事实上，根据20世纪90年代中期瑞士世界价值观调查的数据，社会信任取决于生活满意度、对政治和社会制度的信心、教育、国际文化、日常电视消费和地区来源。
This paper evaluates the foundations of social capital as measured in terms of social trust in Switzerland. Speci¢cally, the standard view that face-to-face interaction within voluntary associations is the dominant way to create social capital (the so-called Tocqueville model) will be challenged.While providing no support for the thesis that active membership in associations fosters social trust, our results strongly support explanations that point to personal resources, social background variables, psychological determinants, and individual attitudes, which can only be explained eiectively by the socialization process within the family and in early adulthood experiences. In fact, based on the Swiss data from the World Values Survey in the mid-1990s, social trust is contingent upon life satisfaction, con¢dence in political and societal institutions, education, cosmopolitan culture, daily television consumption, and regional provenance.
