“…Previous research has found that citizens’ national pride is positively related to political trust (Andrain & Smith, 2006; Kim, 2010). Therefore, national pride was included as a control variable.…”

Political trust is important to any culture, but there has been a noticeable decline in political trust around the world. In search for the origin of political trust and ways to enhance political trust, institutional theorists have largely focused on perceived competence of political institutions in Western democracies and neglected another dimension of political institutions’ character—benevolence. The lack of empirical evidence from Arab countries also raises questions about the generalizability of the institutional theories developed in Western democracies. Following previous research on legal institutions, I extended institutional theories of political trust and found that both perceived competence and benevolence of political institutions facilitated political trust in Arab countries, using the archival data from the Arab-Barometer (2006-2007). Given the limited research on political trust in Arab countries or authoritarian regimes and the ongoing search for a global, multilevel theory of trust, the current research makes a contribution to the literatures on political trust and trust at large.

“…Bellah (1970) observed that Protestant churches tended to reflect "civic republican traditions," which in turn reflected the status quo. Many Protestants view the church as a means to strengthen their families against a dangerous world (Andrain, 2008). Consequently, many Protestants, mainline and Evangelical both, assume centrist positions in regards to social policy (Layman & Green, 2006).…”

“…Power affects trust, as it largely shapes a party's appraisal of the relative worth of exchange relationships and governs the types of trust-based cooperation; mistrust results from disparities in power and permeates through institutions that are too powerful to provide credible commitments (Farrell, 2004). Public administration scholars have long been advocating for citizen participation and empowerment in governance affairs, which advances a collective agenda and leads to greater legitimacy of the decisions affecting their lives and welfare (Andrain & Smith, 2006;Nelson & Wright, 1995). Such participatory development is also expected to realign government-resident relations, salvage trust in crises, and build public confidence in institutions (X.…”

“…A recent study by Wassler et al (2021) investigates psychological empowerment of Hong Kong residents as destination brand ambassadors, concluding that psychological destination brand empowerment significantly influences trust in decisions made by the tourism board. As with psychological and political empowerment, social empowerment is also postulated to influence trust, as it embodies community cohesion and collaboration Scheyvens, 1999), which lends legitimacy to government actors (Andrain & Smith, 2006;Nelson & Wright, 1995). In a gaming context, there has been little empirical analysis investigating the nexus between resident empowerment and trust.…”

Grounded in Weber’s theory of formal and substantive rationality, this study aims to examine the influences of economic and noneconomic factors, namely resident empowerment and trust, on resident support for gaming tourism, a controversial type of tourism development. In particular, with data collected before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the study also examines how resident perceptions of economic and noneconomic benefits of tourism have changed as a result of the pandemic. Findings show that perceived economic benefits and trust in government were significant determinants before and during the pandemic; however, the effects of empowerment seem to be mixed, depending on how controversial gaming tourism was at the time of data collection. Results suggest gaming tourism is viewed more critically during periods of high volume and that when gaming tourism dries up, residents start to become more supportive and to see the economic and noneconomic benefits in a different light.
