“…Trust in governments and institutions, as well as the information and advice they promote, depends on a complex system of interrelating variables. For example, as individual differences in propensities for interpersonal trust are altered, so too can propensities to trust authority and institutions [2,6,10]. In other words, the less we trust each other in general, the less we trust our work colleagues, representatives of health institutions or representatives of government.…”

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.

“…También se ha hallado que las personas con menos confianza interpersonal recelan en mayor medida de las noticias (Jackob, 2012 Ali, 2009). Asimismo, parece existir mayor tendencia a confiar en los contenidos perioLa credibilidad es el resultado de un proceso en el que el individuo examina y evalúa subjetivamente las cualidades de un emisor, contenido, fuente u otra instancia informativa dísticos entre las personas que tienen un alto consumo de televisión (Jackob, 2010; Tsfati; Ariely, 2013).…”

“…This can be explained in the light of the fact that trust in the media leads to increased dependence on it. As mentioned by Kiousis, (2011), andJackob, (2010), during crises, people's trust in the media becomes fundamental to their dependency on the media and the effects that come out of that trust, which makes both the media and trust to be correlated . This expose means that the further a person starts to rely on certain media for news and information, the further they will have better levels of trust, though trust is very significant during disasters times (Kasirye, 2021).…”

Social media facilitates an individuals' ability to rapidly access information especially during the crisis time. According to a recent Pew survey (2020), more than eight-in-ten Americans (86%) get news and information from social media. A huge and growing volume of literature has documented the extent to which social media has made it easier for individuals in both democratic societies, non-democratic or transitional societies to obtain news and information. The numerous popularity and attractiveness of social media has encouraged many media scholars (e.g., Frey, et al., 202;Tal L. 2022;Uslu, & Durak, 2022;Zhang, & Zhong, 2020) to pay attention and investigate the effects, uses, dependency, and engagement in social media. Media Dependency TheoryMedia dependency theory (MDT), which provides this study's theoretical framework, was developed in the mid-1970s. Rokeach and DeFluer (1976) began from the hypothesis that before one can understand the cognitive, effective, or behavioral aspects of individuals' social realities engendered by mass communication information, one must first understand the relationship among publics, the media, and society. In other words, by viewing the mass media as an information system, it employs a multi-level framework to clarify the interrelationship between persons, media system and societal system. This theory illustrates the relationship between the media system, the public and the political and societal system on the macro level and between the media and individuals on the micro level (Zhang, X., Zhong, 2020). Hence, the theory provides an integrated view of how people interact with the media on which they depend on. These collaborative relationships effect in either a decrease or increase in media dependency. Numerous factors contribute to media dependencies, such as media effects and individuals' media desires. Ball-Rokeach & DeFleur (1976) assured that dependency theory appeared in response to limited-effects models of mass communication. The theory suggests that individuals have three main objectives when using media: understanding, orientation, and play. Consequently, people tend to develop relationships with media that transmit information to the public and provide them with a variety of benefits and opportunities to understand their environment, especially in the absence of stability due to the conflicts, and the desire for change or in the event of crises (Grant, &Meadows, 2020).According to Ball-Rokeach (1998), the more persons' needs are fulfilled by media, the more they rely on mass media to meet those requests. Moreover, Groshek (2011) confirmed that media effects become stronger, and individuals depend heavily on the media in unstable, uncertain, ambiguous environments and during crises. Furthermore,
