Explicating trust and its relation to dialogue at a time of divided societies

Values, beliefs, opinions and attitudes on issues (such as religion, LGBTQ, immigration, etc.), and the proliferation of social media platforms have made society not only more diverse but also more divided. Competing and conflicting views and attitudes result in more schisms and disengagement. In addition, conflicts and disagreements on various issues also have resulted in a lack of trust and a reluctance of organizations and publics to engage in meaningful communication. As a result, developing trusting relationships by facilitating dialogues is significant. Trust has been an important construct in past research on organization-public relationships. However, the concept of trust has rarely been discussed in-depth in public relations literature. This special section of Public Relations Review, entitled Enhancing Dialogue and Trust in Diverse Societies, examines whether the current definitions of trust and its dimensions in the public relations literature are adequate in an organization-public dialogic communication setting.

The belonging model of trust

Although we know that high‐quality employee–organization relationships are beneficial, these relationships are complex and not fully understood, especially among employees of nonprofit organizations. In particular, we know little about how these employees perceive trust, which may overlook an important contributor to effective management. We begin to address this issue by testing a new theoretical model that conceptualizes perceived insider status, psychological ownership, and organizational identification as foundations for the perception of justice and subsequent trust. Our results indicate that psychological ownership and perceived insider status relate to trust through procedural and interpersonal justice. These results contrast those typically found in for‐profit contexts in that organizational identification did not predict justice and that distributive and informational justice did not predict trust.     

Sources of socialization for interpersonal trust: an exploration of low-income Black adolescents’ experiences

Much of the literature on interpersonal trust is quantitative in nature, using scales developed primarily with White middle-class and upper-class adults. To understand how another racial group of a different socioeconomic background and age views interpersonal trust, we considered the experiences of 22 low-income Black adolescents. The adolescents participated in a relationship education program and were interviewed about their interpersonal trust experiences. Results of a qualitative data analysis revealed that most adolescents defined interpersonal trust based on honesty and fidelity, with a particular emphasis on monogamy in romantic relationships. Adolescents identified direct messages from family members and personal relationship experiences as sources of socialization for interpersonal trust. Although some adolescents reported that the relationship education program enhanced their understanding of and willingness to trust, others maintained that trust can only be learned through personal experiences. Though the adolescents generally trusted family members, they experienced challenges trusting friends and romantic partners. Despite this, adolescents considered interpersonal trust a vital and a necessary part of romantic relationships. We discuss implications of the findings for relationship stability and satisfaction.

专家参与危机管理中的信任失灵与策略转换

公众科学知识素养的缺乏,社会功能的分工及科技民主价值观念的形成,决定了专家参与危机管理的必要性。中国危机管理面临着突出的专家信任失灵问题。公众对专家知识期望的理想化、专家自身知识的价值偏向、专家参与机制有效性无法保证、信息公开透明度不够等,从知识论层面与现实层面构成了信任失灵的根源。构建专家信息库、提高言论被“收买”的风险成本、完善良好的沟通机制是重获专家信任权威的有效策略。     

气候资源的权力与权利：基于公共财产属性的构造

气候资源不是《宪法》、《物权法》上明确列举的国家所有权客体,也不具有权利客体的特征。气候资源与国家所有权客体在权利归属、表现形态、使用方式、存在目的上存在较大差异,乃是一种公共财产。基于公共信托理论,国家是公共财产的受托人,对气候资源行使诸如气候资源规划权、保护区设立权、纠纷裁决权及开发利用行政许可权等管理权。因为气候资源不是国家所有权客体,源自气候资源国家管理权的民事主体对气候资源开发利用的权利乃是特许物权。气候资源特许物权具有公私兼容的性质,既具有公法性,又具有私法性。     

社会信任模式与合作型信任的重构

在增进政府与公民社会的合作过程中,应开发利用信任资源。信任的秩序功能随着人类社会的发展而增强,到后工业社会发展为人类合作的主导模式,合作型信任为合理社会秩序的构建提供了充分的社会支持。以后工业化与全球化时代的政府治理模式作为研究立足点,良性善治的社会治理模式需要合作信任作为其文化建设体系与社会整合机制。     

中国农村扶贫政策的减贫效应及其评价

围绕我国“农村扶贫政策在何种程度上减缓贫困”的争论性议题,从2950篇相关研究中筛选出159篇实证研究样本文献,提取531个效应值,运用Meta Analysis系统评价了改革开放以来我国财政扶贫的减贫效应及其结构和路径。采取FAT-PET-PEESE策略的计量结果显示:扶贫政策对农民收入增长和降低贫困发生率总体上具有正向作用,其中,增收效应接近中等程度,降低贫困发生率的作用则相对较弱;从结构上看,减贫力度从高到低依次为产业扶贫、教育扶贫、搬迁扶贫、社保扶贫和生态扶贫。此外,贫困人口的行为能力差异被证明是减贫效应的可能作用路径。新时期扶贫政策应保持基本的连续性,政策实施应以强化农民反贫困能力建设为核心,探索建立相对贫困治理的长效机制。     

漫谈构建中美新型大国关系简

中美两国建交35年来,外交关系的发展经历了风风雨雨。2012年,习近平主席访美,将“中关合作伙伴关系”提升为“新型大国伙伴关系”。那么,如何看中美构建新型大国关系？首先,构建中美新型大国关系是时代使然;同时,构建中美新型大国关系不是从零开始,已经取得了历史性进展。当然,构建中美新型大国关系还面临着许多新的挑战和新的考验。今后,构建中美新型大国关系需要“释疑增信,管控分歧”。
