RAPID: Trust and Legal Socialization During the COVID-19 Pandemic

随着时间的推移，政治信任受到许多因素的影响，包括新冠肺炎疫情。该项目将调查有儿童期虐待史的低收入成年人对政府当局的信任以及对新冠肺炎指令的遵守情况。该项目将研究各种因素如何影响政治信任，以及这与在大流行期间遵守政府指示有何关系，特别是在有虐待儿童历史的成年人中。这个项目涉及法律态度、行为和社会化的理论，将研究儿童时期在儿童保护行动中被带离家的成年人的政治信任。这项纵向研究将使用调查技术来确定在新冠肺炎大流行期间，这些成年人口如何遵守政府发布的指令。该项目还将检查这些成年人如何按照政府旨在控制疫情的规定来社交他们的孩子。该项目将为公众提供实践和理论层面的见解，因为它对于表征可能影响新冠肺炎期间疾病传播的政治信任和法律社会化非常重要。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Political trust is shaped by many factors over time, including the COVID-19 pandemic. This project will examine trust in governmental authorities and adherence to COVID-19 directives among low-income adults with childhood maltreatment histories. The project will study how various factors influence political trust and how that relates to observance of governmental instructions during the pandemic, particularly among adults with a history of child maltreatment. Engaging in theories of legal attitudes, behavior, and socialization, this project will study political trust in adults who as children were removed from home in child protection actions. This longitudinal study will employ survey techniques to ascertain how this adult population adheres to government-issued directives during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project also will examine how these adults socialize their children with respect to following government mandates meant to control the pandemic. This project will provide the public with insight on both practical and theoretical levels, as it will be important for characterizing political trust and legal socialization that may affect the spread of disease during the COVID-19 pandemic.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.
