“…Different from our results, a prior study revealed that less trust and a weak sense of belonging to the community were significantly linked to a higher risk for developing loneliness [10]. Meanwhile, a study also found that an increase of trust at the community-level also contributed to a reduction in loneliness among community-dwelling older people [42]. Also, a previous study showed that insufficient social support is significantly related to the onset of loneliness [43][44][45].…”

Background We aimed to examine the association between social capital and loneliness in Anhui Province, China. Methods Data were collected from a cross-sectional study using a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling strategy. Data on demographic characteristics, socioeconomic factors, social capital, and loneliness in 1810 older adults (aged 60 years and older) were used for analysis. Binary logistic regression models and a classification and regression tree model were performed to assess the association of social capital and loneliness. Results Our results indicated that social capital in terms of lower level of social participation (AOR = 1.38; 95% CI: 1.10–1.74), social connection (AOR = 1.51; 95% CI: 1.18–1.93), and reciprocity (AOR = 1.47; 95% CI: 1.13–1.90) were associated with higher odds of developing loneliness. We noted the interactive effect of different social capital dimensions on loneliness, suggesting that the risk for suffering loneliness was greatest in older people limited in functional ability, with less trust, less social connection, and less social participation. Conclusions Our findings show that social capital is associated with loneliness in older adults. This implies that social capital, especially in terms of trust, social connection, and social participation may be significant for alleviating loneliness in later life.

“…Whilst this has been documented to have a negative impact on mental health [18], the restrictions of normal social contact can also involve changes to interpersonal trust. Studies in neighbourhood [21] and interpersonal [17] trust have found a negative relationship between social isolation and trust. Potential effects of preventative measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic on interpersonal and workplace trust are discussed in the following.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic raises questions of trust in many domains, including interpersonal relationships, social behaviours, technology, and interactions with institutions and information. This prompts the need to consider trust holistically when attempting to understand it within any of these individual domains. An emerging theory of trust is applied to provide a perspective through which the interrelating effects of trust in multiple contexts can be understood in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. Understanding the collective erosion of trust in each of the domains addressed can contribute to understanding how citizens trust in important and reliable health advice provided by governments and institutions.
