“…This study explored emerging adult women’s experiences establishing trust and safety in relationships, furthering the goal of addressing the gap in research on subjective feelings and experiences regarding emerging adult relationship trajectories (Gammeltoft 2002). It serves to begin development of a theoretically-informed empirical body of literature on interpersonal trust, as called for by Bulloch (2013).…”

There is a critical need to understand the interplay between relationship trust and public health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of emerging adult women’s processes of establishing trust in sexual relationships. Twenty-five women aged 18–24 years participated in semi-structured interviews. Throughout the interviews, women compared and contrasted experiences in which they felt comfortable engaging in sexual intercourse with a partner versus times in which they did not feel comfortable. Analysis was based on a critical qualitative research orientation. When asked to speak to instances when they felt comfortable having sex, most women spoke about relationship trust. Many participants conceptualised trust based on past experiences with bad relationships or sexual violence. Based on their previous experiences of feeling unsafe or undervalued, emotional and physical security became prioritised in relationship development. Trust was developed through friendship, communication over time, and through shared life experiences. This research is among the first to qualitatively investigate trust formation and other impersonal dynamics related to sexual health decision-making. Insights from this study should be translated into future action by public health practitioners to promote healthy sexual relationships and communication about sexual health topics as a form of trust building.

Community and Individual Determinants of Social Capital in a Low Income Country *This study presents new evidence on individual and community-specific determinants of social trust using data from 96 villages in Bangladesh. We find perceived institutional trust to be positively correlated with stated inter-personal trust. At the same time, there is significant social distance among various faith groups in our data: both Hindus and Muslims trust their coreligionists more than they trust those from other religions. Hindus in districts bordering India trust non-Hindus significantly less, compared to those in interior regions, which suggests that the results do not simply capture the effect of minority/majority status. Trust towards non-Muslims is negatively correlated with Islamic school attendance among Muslim respondents, while religiosity tends not to play any role. Compared to religion, the effects of institutional trust and local economic development are modest. These findings are robust to control for a range of individual-and community-level correlates, and enumerator fixedeffects. NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYSocial trust, the confidence people have that strangers on whom they have no specific information about will not take advantage of them, is considered to facilitate long-term growth, democratic stability and subjective well-being. Trust is particularly important in the rural areas of developing countries where formal markets are often under-developed, and the majority of economic transactions take place in the informal sector. Some scholars have argued that the level of trust is determined by schooling and institution quality while others contest that the extent to which one trusts others may depend on factors such as religious affiliation, and/or degree of religiosity. Faith orientation of the school can be also important. Youths may be exposed to schools that limit interaction with other faith groups and operate in segmented communities with limited media access. If so, social capital in Muslim countries such as Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Nigeria can be undermined by religious/ethnic diversity among their populations, faith-specific schooling and poor governance. Faith identity is a contentious topic in South Asia where countries are greatly segmented along religious lines. Media reports on communal riots causing deaths and dama...

“…Bulloch (2013) señala que desde un punto de vista teórico-conceptual la confi anza tiene dos vertientes: una moral y otra estratégica. Nuestra aproximación se aparta de la primera vertiente, que concibe la confi anza como una creencia en la bondad de la naturaleza humana en general (Yamagishi y Yamagishi, 1994, citado por Bulloch, 2013). En este estudio se analiza la visión estratégica de la confi anza donde: i) los individuos confían porque es razonable hacerlo; ii) la confi anza será posible siempre que tenga algún depositario; y iii) la información y la experiencia constituyen elementos clave.…”

La dinámica social moderna ha generado riesgos y peligros, situación que se visibiliza en confl ictos socioambientales que emergen en distintos contextos socioespaciales, representando las tensiones existent es entre intereses contrapuestos. Una de las dimensiones sociales relevada por la literatura para gobernar los riesgos que genera la confl ictividad socioambiental es la confi anza, variable que modelos y diseños de intervención han tomado poco en cuenta. A partir de una investigación exploratoria integrada se levantó información a través de 6 grupos de discusión y 15 entrevistas semiestructuradas para analizar la confi anza, con el objetivo de evidenciar su incidencia en las relaciones entre actores sociales e instituciones públicas y privadas en los confl ictos Termoeléctrica Castilla e Hidroeléctrica Hidroaysén en Chile. Los resultados destacan que Competencia-Habilidad y Consistencia del Comportamiento (variables objetivas), así como Benevolencia, Integridad, Sentido de Justicia y Cumplimiento de los Compromisos (variables subjetivas), explican las relaciones, tensiones y salidas en los confl ictos analizados.
