Generalized trust - faith in people you do not know who are likely
to be different from you - is a value that leads to many positive
outcomes for a society. Yet some scholars now argue that trust is
lower when we are surrounded by people who are different from us.
Eric M. Uslaner challenges this view and argues that residential
segregation, rather than diversity, leads to lower levels of trust.
Integrated and diverse neighborhoods will lead to higher levels of
trust, but only if people also have diverse social networks.
Professor Uslaner examines the theoretical and measurement
differences between segregation and diversity and summarizes
results on how integrated neighborhoods with diverse social
networks increase trust in the United States, Canada, the United
Kingdom, Sweden and Australia. He also shows how different
immigration and integration policies toward minorities shape both
social ties and trust.
