“…This pattern is consistent with previous research on elderly people (Aneshensel et al, 2007;Beard et al, 2009). Greater neighborhood SES seems to be associated with higher individual social trust (Murayama et al, 2014). Therefore, those living in a neighborhood characterized by high SES might obtain more support and feel less stress/unease.…”

Despite increasing evidence of the relationship between neighborhood cohesion and depressive mood, little is known about this longitudinal association in old age. This study examined the association between perceived neighborhood cohesion and depressive mood and the stress-buffering effect of perceived neighborhood cohesion on depressive mood among older Japanese people using the 2010 (baseline) and 2012 (follow-up) Hatoyama Cohort Study datasets. We analyzed 655 participants aged 65-84 at baseline. Although perceived neighborhood cohesion at baseline was not associated with depressive mood at follow-up, high neighborhood cohesion partially offset the deleterious effect of anticipated daily stressors on depressive mood. This effect was stronger for long-term residents of the neighborhood. Interventions to strengthen neighborhood cohesion may help reduce the deleterious effect of stressors on older residents' depressive mood.

“…the neighborhood, work settings and social networks might influence trustful behavior. The homogeneity of the neighborhood status levels has shown to positively affect social trust (Murayama, Arami, Wakui, Sugawara, & Yoshie, 2014, p. 2783Subramanian, Lochner, & Kawachi, 2003), hinting towards a possible course of future research. Finally, recent experimental work by Côté, House and Willer was able to model both the positive and the negative effect of SES on prosocial behavior by introducing a macro condition of 1 Students are not easily sorted onto a SES scale.…”

The increased popularity of peer-to-peer markets decentralizes distribution of resources, a process that can prove to be economically efficient. Yet, this also increases uncertainty about transactions, and therewith the size of the trust problem. Individual characteristics thus become more important in determining who obtains trust as a type of social capital. In light of this societal development, this study is concerned with socioeconomic status as part of the explanans for interpersonal trust. It is generally believed that higher status trustees are trusted more easily, for they are more vulnerable to social control and loss of reputation. Others argue that people with lower social status often have to rely on each other and are therefore socialized into acting trustworthy.We propose a novel method for examining interpersonal trust situation: a vignette experiment mimicking the reality of peer-to-peer market platforms. 626 respondents, recruited through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, were asked to place trust in their preferable trustee based on the asking price, and seller’s characteristics. Conditional logistic regression models were estimated and we found that status increases perceived trustworthiness, and positively affects the trust premium for past trustworthy behavior. Strong reputation effects were found, sending out a warning of reputation cascading based on the cumulative advantage literature.

Online peer-to-peer markets decentralize the distribution of resources, creating a trust problem in economic exchange on the internet. Individual characteristics of trustees—as determinants for being trusted—are therefore increasingly important. In light of this societal development, this study investigates the role of socioeconomic status and reputation as drivers of interpersonal trust. Some have argued that lower status trustees are trusted more easily because over the life course, they repeatedly rely on others' resources. Others state that higher status trustees are perceived as being more trustworthy, because they are more vulnerable to social control and loss of reputation. We propose a novel, experimental method for examining interpersonal trust situations that resembles the reality of peer-to-peer market platforms. 626 subjects in an online experiment were asked to place trust in their preferable trustee based on the asking price, and seller characteristics. The results from conditional logistic regression models showed that status increases perceived trustworthiness and positively affects the trust premium for past trustworthy behavior. Strong reputation effects were found, sending out a warning for inequitable emergent inequality of trust through reputation cascading.
