The purpose of this article is to test whether the use public participation by a local government increases perceptions procedural fairness among and propose an explanation for why strong predictor satisfaction with governmental decisions. To do this, we draw on uncertainty management model hypothesize that indications can increase support its decisions effects are greater individuals who more uncertain (less knowledgeable) about body in question. hypothesis, embedded experiment survey was...
Positive public perceptions are a critical pillar of the criminal justice system, but literature addressing them often fails to offer clear advice regarding important constructs or relationships among them. The research reported here sought take an step toward this clarity by recruiting national convenience sample complete online survey about police in respondent’s community, which included measures process-based model legitimacy and classic trust. Our results suggest that although both...

Political trust is a perennially important concern and the events of last few years have, in many ways, heightened this importance. The relevant scholarship has done much to meet challenge but continues struggle with definitional unclarities an inability provide accounts that consistently operate as expected. current research seeks test potential classic model from organizational sciences makes specific arguments regarding psychological nature mechanisms construct helping address these...
Using confirmatory factor analyses and multiple indicators per construct, we examined a number of theoretically derived structures pertaining to numerous trust-relevant constructs (from 9 12) across four institutional contexts (police, local governance, natural resources, state governance) participant-types (college students via an online survey, community residents as part city's budget engagement activity, random sample rural landowners, national adult Americans Amazon Mechanical Turk...

Trust – most often defined as the trustor's willingness to accept vulnerability matters across almost every facet of modern life. Significant bodies research have been devoted understanding nature and dynamics construct, but much less work has directly considered at core its definition. The current article addresses this gap, elucidating concept focal portion individualised, total potential for experiencing harm that is perceived, relational, contemporaneous with their assessment trust. We...
This article examines the effectiveness of using different kinds written reminders to reduce misdemeanor defendants' failure-to-appear (FTA) rates.A subset defendants was surveyed after their scheduled court date assess perceptions procedural justice and trust confidence in courts.Reminders reduced FTA overall, more substantive (e.g., with information on negative consequences FTA) were effective than a simple reminder.FTA varied depending several offense offender characteristics, such as...

This study examined a knowledge-centered theory of institutional trust development. In the context in water regulatory institutions, moderating impact knowledge was tested to determine if there were longitudinal changes bases as function increases about target institution. We hypothesized that people learn an institution with which they previously unfamiliar, begin form more nuanced perceptions, distinguishing new from other institutions and relying less upon their generalized estimate Prior...
Purpose Despite a common conceptual root, research applying legitimacy theory addresses any number of more or less distinct behaviours, attitudes, and processes. Although this variety in approaches has complicated theoretical development, we argue that it is critical to addressing the breadth construct. To address state affairs, offer Concentric Diagram Legitimacy as an organizing tool for literature. The diagram roots itself dialogue , argues fundamentally comprised five key propositions....
Despite the universally recognized importance of fostering trust and avoiding distrust in governance relationships, there remains considerable debate on core questions like relation between (dis)trust evaluations characteristics that make a agent appear (un)worthy trust. In particular, it unclear whether levels simply follow (dis)trustworthiness-such building is primarily question increasing evidence trustworthiness distrustworthiness, or if their dynamics are more complicated. The current...
Abstract Despite its contemporary and theoretical importance in numerous social scientific disciplines, institutional confidence research is limited by a lack of consensus regarding the distinctions relationships among related constructs (e.g., trust, confidence, legitimacy, distrust, etc.). This study examined four confidence‐related that have been used studies trust/confidence courts: dispositional trust institutions, obligation to obey law, cynicism. First, separability was exploratory...
Trust is critical for natural resource management (NRM). In recognition of this, a noteworthy body literature has investigated the construct but is, as yet, still developing. The current research proposes and tests an increasingly complete model that integrates major advances in not only NRM social psychological addressing trust more generally well. To end, analyses were conducted with large sample Michigan hunters (n = 23,954). results suggest that, hypothesized, theoretical statistically...
Abstract In this study we assess the extent to which regulations governing use of drones in United States address concerns held by public they are meant protect. general, respondents were most supportive those that could be categorized as limiting one's exposure an unwanted drone. The popular policies protected personal privacy, while least hampered used for safety. largest discrepancy was found respondents' preference laws protecting privacy compared with lack regulatory constraints...
While the story of Flint water crisis has frequently been told, even sympathetic analyses have largely worked to make invisible significant actions residents protect and advocate for their community. Leaving voices these stakeholders out narratives about served deepen distrust in Our project responds silences through a community-driven research study aimed explicitly at elevating frame around crisis. This paper describes coming together team, overall design each three efforts, lessons...
Science is increasingly a collaborative pursuit. Although the modern scientific enterprise owes much to individuals working at core of their field, humanity confronted by highly complex problems that require integration variety disciplinary and methodological expertise. In 2016, U.S. National Foundation launched an initiative prioritizing support for convergence research as means “solving vexing problems, in particular, focusing on societal needs.” We discuss our understanding objectives...
A key task of public governance is the management vulnerability. Whether by standardizing units measurement or coordinating global responses to climate change, actors are empowered leverage their expertise, authority, and time address variety risks facing society. Paradoxically, however, these efforts manage risk create new potential for injury. Trust, as a willingness accept vulnerability, therefore critically important. This chapter explores intersection trust first, elucidating imposed,...
Abstract Although researchers have consistently demonstrated the importance of confidence in public institutions like courts, relatively little attention has been paid to understanding what itself really is. This article presents data from two samples community members, thereby building on and extending a preliminary investigation that sought understand constructs related state courts with student samples. Structural equation modelling results provide support for dimensionality measures...
Contemporary natural resource management (NRM) emphasises the role of public in general and land owners particular as voluntary participants process. Understanding trust cooperation is therefore critical, but current state relevant literature such that it fails to systematically address a few important issues. This inquiry sought these issues by presenting testing model owners' with NRM institution. The hypothesises six major drivers this context (dispositional trust, care, competence,...
