Abu Dhabi's transformation to a modern society in recent decades provides an ideal context to explore the interplay of tradition, transition, and modernization at various levels, which shapes the trajectory of the development of social trust. This study offers multilevel analyses of the effects of social, psychological, and ethnical factors on social trust by using data from Abu Dhabi General Social Survey conducted in 2018. The results sustain the validity of both social capital and social network theories in explaining social trust. Contrary to the findings in other Middle East countries, in Abu Dhabi, the full‐time employed and people who are more satisfied with their household income tend to show a higher level of trust. A negative but insignificant relationship is found between community ethnic fragmentation and social trust.

全球何时何地与本地相遇：阿布扎比酋长国社会信任决定因素的多层次分析

近几十年来，阿布扎比向现代社会的转型为探索传统，过渡和现代化各个层面的相互作用提供了一个理想的背景，它塑造了社会信任的发展轨迹。本研究使用2018年进行的阿布扎比​​综合社会调查得出的数据，对社会，心理和种族因素对社会信任的影响进行了多层次分析。结果证明了社会资本和社会网络理论在解释社会信任方面的有效性。与其他中东国家的调查结果相反，在阿布扎比，全职雇员和对家庭收入更满意的人倾向于表现出更高的信任度。在社区种族分裂与社会信任之间发现了消极但微不足道的关系。
