We combine two experiments and a survey to measure trust and trustworthiness—two key components of social capital. Standard attitudinal survey questions about trust predict trustworthy behavior in our experiments much better than they predict trusting behavior. Trusting behavior in the experiments is predicted by past trusting behavior outside of the experiments. When individuals are closer socially, both trust and trustworthiness rise. Trustworthiness declines when partners are of different races or nationalities. High status individuals are able to elicit more trustworthiness in others.
我们结合两项实验和一项调查来衡量信任和可信度--社会资本的两个关键组成部分。在我们的实验中,有关信任的标准态度调查问题对信任行为的预测要比对信任行为的预测好得多。实验中的信任行为是由实验之外的信任行为所预测的。当个体之间的社交关系更加密切时,信任度和可信度都会上升。当伙伴的种族或国籍不同时,信任度就会下降。地位高的人能够获得他人更多的信任。
