Abstract:

Decades after the cessation of African American lynchings, the public decry of the Tuskegee Experiment, and the dawn of the civil rights movement, social life in the United States continues to be characterized by significant racial discrimination and stratification. This divide may potentially play a significant role in African Americans’ 1) formation of trust of individuals of different racial and ethnic groups, which is integral to the formation of social capital and 2) willingness to cooperate with governmental institutions, which have historically been composed of individuals of other races at times promulgating discrimination. This study steps outside the traditional boundaries of racial issues in the research literature to explore levels of trust toward other ethnic groups and the institution of government within the African American community. We determine that both individual and community level factors impact trust levels.

The use of multilevel modeling allowed us to test the influence of community as well as individual characteristics in shaping levels of trust. This yields a more complete and accurate model of the factors that account for the systematic differences in trust. As a result of this study, we have a better understanding of trust levels between African-Americans and whites within the community context.
