Abstract: Using a unique data set that combines experimental and survey data of more than 3,000 individuals of six Latin American cities, I analyze the association between revealed attitudes of Trust and Social Capital, the latter measured as Participation in Voluntary Organizations. I find no statistical association between Trust and Social Capital, contrary to established economic and sociological theories of participation.
