Environmental pessimism diminishes social trust and concern in predicting willingness to sacrifice for environmental protections
Addressing environmental problems depends on individual willingness to make sacrifices in coordination with others, making them social dilemmas. Therefore, individuals who believe these problems are important may become unwilling if they expect others will not reciprocate. Therefore, social trust—a belief that people in general will behave pro-socially—is a predictor of environmental willingness. Environmental pessimism—the belief that the resolu…
How does Social Trust Shape the Politicization of America’s Climate Change Perception?—A Study of Two National Surveys in 2022 and 2023
Climate change has exerted tremendous disruptive impacts on the planet and human society. The United States is a major contributor to this crisis and has witnessed extreme weather events more frequently in recent years. To address this issue, it is critical to understand how Americans understand climate change. Our study uses data from two national surveys administered in 2022 and 2023 to investigate this topic. Descriptive statistics reveal that…
The moderating role of post-materialism in the relationship between income and red meat consumption
When ‘no point’ becomes a turning point
Fragile Trust, Stable Mistrust
The roots of social trust have long been a scholarly concern. Some argue that it is a disposition gained in early socialization that is stable despite social experiences. Others argue that social arrangements that structure prosocial interactions can cultivate it. Analyzing in-depth interview data, I contribute to this literature by developing a theory of fragile trust, stable mistrust. The results suggest interviewees understand early socializat…
Social trust, cultural trust, and the will to sacrifice for environmental protections
The Effect of Cultural Trust on Cooperation in Two Behavioral Experiments
Trust is an important factor for cooperation in social dilemmas because of uncertainty and free-riding fears. Many contemporary social problems are characterized by uncertainty because they depend on the cooperation of thousands to resolve. Social trust as a personal belief is necessary but not sufficient for cooperation under these conditions. In contemporary social dilemmas, the trust-cooperation relationship likely depends on cultural trust: w…
Cohesiveness of Group Identity and Characterizations of the Out-Group among Atheist and Christian Student Clubs
Do social groups that have a strong ideological basis tend to form a cohesive group identity among group members? This paper investigates how negatively defining an out-group is important, if not integral, for creating a shared identity among members of ideologically based social groups. To explore this connection, I interviewed undergraduate student members of a Christian club and an atheist club at a Midwestern research university. I examined t…
