Abstract


Social trust is one of the key concepts in the analysis of social capital. Social or generalized trust is defined as trust in unknown people. In spite of its centrality for the analysis of social capital, the mechanisms that connect membership to social network with the development of social trust are generally absent in the literature. This paper discusses two ways in which these mechanisms come about: (a) as a consequences of the participation in associations, (b) by sending signals that revise the initial beliefs about the trustworthiness of unknown people.
