“…In this sense, both media types can increase public awareness about corruption and increase people's political participation and trust. Furthermore, affirming the existing studies on the relationship between political participation and political trust (Jacob & Schenke, 2020;Wilkes, 2015), this study demonstrates the high relevance of political participation to political trust. It thus emphasizes that political participation is a strong predictor of political trust in Nigeria.…”

“…Jacob and Schenke (2020) claimed that regardless of media exposure intensity to poor governance of the incumbent government, members of the ruling party can hardly believe that the government is bad and can easily feel satisfied with their performance, unlike those in the opposition party. Thus, an individual with party affiliation generally believes that a party they associate with performs more effectively and efficiently than other parties (Jacob & Schenke, 2020;Wilkes, 2015). Regarding the possible relationship between political participation and political trust, past studies (Bonifácio & Paulino, 2015;Wilkes, 2015) found that party affiliation, tolerance, for and experience with corruption determined people's trust in the incumbent government.…”

Political distrust is prevalent in many parts of the world. Scholars have discovered many factors affecting political trust, but they have paid little attention to the influence of issue salience in the media on political trust. Focusing on the role of media in assigning salience to corruption issues in Nigeria, this study examined the influence of mainstream media and social media on political trust. In addition, we treated political participation as a mediating factor and investigated its effect on the relationship between perceived salience of corruption in media and political trust. A survey was conducted on a sample of 688 Nigerians aged above 18 years old using a multi-stage cluster sampling technique. The data was later analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). We found that salience in media predicted political trust, and the effect was stronger for social media than mainstream media contexts. Our findings also suggested that political participation directly affected political trust and was a significant mediator that affected the relationships between salience in the mainstream media (SMM) and political trust and between salience in the social media (SSM) and political trust. The results imply that salience in media leads to political participation, leading to political trust. This study supports the assumptions of both agenda-setting and agenda-melding theories. It suggests that policymakers in Nigeria should adopt media, especially social media, to restore the people’s trust in government.

“…The most dominant factors in explaining trust in institutions have been the variables of institutional performance and the quality of governance; that is, better performance of public institutions and a higher quality of governance are claimed to enhance citizens’ trust in them (Brehm & Rahn, 1997; Jacob & Schenke, 2020; Mauk, 2019; Mishler & Rose, 1997, 2001; Rohrschneider & Schmitt‐Beck, 2002; Yang & Holze, 2006). From the perspective of rational choice theory, these two factors are assumed to be the main explanatory variables for institutional trust (Mishler & Rose, 2001), but it may not be possible to explain higher institutional trust in developing and transitional democracies where weak or poor governance is the political order.…”

Motivation Most studies of the normative roots of political trust argue that they stem from policy performance rather than from cultural orientation. That sits at odds with the observation that institutional trust—that is, citizens’ confidence in public agencies—is high in Bangladesh and Nepal despite poor policy performance. Purpose The article assesses the influence of policy performance and cultural orientation of citizens in Bangladesh and Nepal on institutional trust. Approach and Methods The article draws on country representative surveys (Governance and Trust Survey 2) in Bangladesh and Nepal carried out in 2014–15. It identifies cultural preferences and specifically authoritarian cultural orientation (ACO)—characterized by deference to authority, unquestioning obedience, and reliance on authorities—and compares this to institutional trust. Findings High authoritarian cultural orientation (ACO) can lead citizens to trust public institutions. People’s submissiveness to the country’s authorities can obstruct critical thinking and even create positive impressions of the authorities, which in turn generates institutional trust. Institutions that are more visible and exert more authority may attract greater trust among citizens who exhibit ACO. Policy Implications When assessing citizens’ perceptions of policy performance, their cultural orientations must be considered. Trust in public agencies cannot be treated as proxy for their policy performance.

“…A sizable literature addresses trust in government, including specifically in East Asia, although the focus varies widely in terms of governmental institutions analyzed (e.g. Jacob and Schenke, 2020 ; Jou, 2009 ; Kim, 2005 ; Tokuda et al, 2009 ). Previous works emphasize general performance, perceptions of perceived benefits or harm, and ability to respond effectively to crises ( Armah-Attoh, 2015 ; Easton, 1957 ; Hakhverdian and Mayne, 2012 ; Ward et al, 2016 ).…”

Policy as a Booster Shot? The Impact of Satisfaction with Pandemic Policies on Presidential Evaluations in Taiwan

How does satisfaction in COVID policies influence presidential evaluations? Taiwan’s initial handling of the pandemic garnered considerable international attention, with initial high public satisfaction. Little attention, however, falls on how this satisfaction influenced evaluations of Taiwan’s president, Tsai Ing-wen, over time. With nine survey waves from 2020 to 2022, this analysis finds that satisfaction with COVID policies corresponded with both greater satisfaction with and trust in Tsai; however, the impact of this satisfaction was smaller than on traditional policy areas.
