Trust and civic engagement: Evidence from six Latin American cities

Juan José Barrios

Journal of Trust Research, 2017, vol. 7, issue 2, 187-203

Abstract: This paper investigates the association between revealed attitudes of trust and participation in voluntary organisations and makes a contribution to the growing literature on the relation between attitudes, preferences, behaviour, and social participation (civic engagement). A distinguishing characteristic of this study is that it employs a unique data set that combines experimental and survey data of more than 3000 individuals of six Latin American cities. Results of the Trust Game show that trust is not significantly associated with civic engagement and the intensity of that engagement.
