Trust is seen as a glue in modern societies that facilitates economic prosperity and political functioning (e.g., Fukuyama, 1995; Newton, 2001; Putnam, 2000; see a more critical view of trust in Warren, 1999). In this literature, there exists a conventional division between social and political trust, as they are believed to have different foundations (e.g., Uslaner, 2002, 2018) and therefore should be treated as distinct concepts. However, more recently, the interconnected nature of trust has been increasingly acknowledged: Newton, Stolle, and Zmerli (2018) argue that social and political trust are “closely tied together in a mutually reinforcing manner that underpins social harmony, economic efficiency, and democratic government” (Newton et al., 2018, p. 2; see also Newton & Zmerli, 2011). Consistent with this idea, Liu, Milojev, Gil de Zúñiga, and Zhang (2018) propose a Global Trust Inventory (GTI), which captures “a system of meaning that encompasses both the subcomponents of and an overall grasp of the risks of opening oneself up to a range of dependencies on others” (p. 790). Here we introduce network analysis as a relatively novel and useful tool to empirically examine the interconnectedness of multiple types of trust derived from the GTI.

跨11个民主国家的全球信任的网络分析

信任被视为现代社会促进经济繁荣和政治运作的粘合剂（例如，福山（Fukuyama），1995；牛顿（Newton），2001；普特南（Putnam），2000；在沃伦（Warren），1999年看到了更为批判的信任观）。在这些文献中，社会和政治信任之间存在传统的区分，因为人们认为它们具有不同的基础（例如，Uslaner，2002，2018），因此应被视为不同的概念。但是，最近，人们越来越认识到了信任的相互联系：Newton，Stolle和Zmerli（2018）认为，社会和政治信任“以一种相互加强的方式紧密地联系在一起，从而为社会和谐，经济效率和民主奠定了基础。政府”（Newton等人，2018年，第2页；另见Newton＆Zmerli，2011年）。与这个想法一致的是，刘，米洛耶夫（Lilojev），Gil deZúñiga和Zhang（2018）提出了一个全球信任清单（GTI），该清单涵盖了“一种意义系统，涵盖了自身的开放性和对他人的一系列依赖的风险的子组件和整体把握” （第790页）。在这里，我们将网络分析作为一种相对新颖且有用的工具进行实证研究。源自GTI的多种类型的信任的相互联系。
