Generalized trust faith in people you don't 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 and how they increase altruism
toward people of different backgrounds in the United States and the
United Kingdom. He also shows how different immigration and
integration policies toward minorities shape both social ties and
trust.
