My new paper doi.org/10.1093/esr/... explains that personal networks expose us to different degrees to economic distress, which shapes public opinion (here, institutional trust). Yet institutional trust research has largely overlooked networks. #sociology #netsky

My go-to networks person is Bill McEvily at U Toronto but this looks a little different from what I understand of that work. Cool stuff!

I have some quibbles with the idea that authorities can estimate public trust and some pieces of the experiment but I buy finding a correlation between government support for harm reduction and trust in government. Not sure if it would survive explicit conservative pushback though.

I am really proud about this publication on trust, with Chaïm la Roi and @cvalebeek.bsky.social .
Using unique panel data, we show (1) that trust has a dispositional element among adults, and (2) that these trust attitudes are socialized during adolescence.

Socialized to (Dis)trust? A Panel Study into the Origins of Dispositional Institutional Trust - Social Indicators Research

A longstanding argument in the field of institutional trust reads that trust is the outcome of a process of socialization. This approach suggests that institutional trust may be understood as a set di...

🩺👥 Partisan trust in personal doctors

A new study finds Democrats are now 12% more likely than Republicans to trust their own doctor – reversing a decade-old trend. COVID-19 has politicised even private care.

Tyler told me to attend to treatment over outcome. Mayer introduced me vulnerability while Holling showed me balance. Ostrom asked me to trust the people, and Baldwin reminded me why we can’t always do that.

Joe Hamm @istudytrust.bsky.social · Apr 6

Lineage in academia is more than what school and who trained you. As a team sport, academic ideas necessarily come from somewhere.

My thought lineage is rooted heavily in Tyler and Mayer but also Holling, Ostrom, and Baldwin.

Unpacking them is a fun, intellectually reinvigorating mental break.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

Absolutely fair, but the paper draws attention to increases in trust in science on the left so my comment was aimed there.

(I neglected to include the title in my original post—very important context that I dropped…)

Hah! I thought that the article title would post. Important context for my musing here. :)

Rapidly diverging public trust in science in the United States.

Joe Hamm @istudytrust.bsky.social · Dec 10

Interesting new piece on #trustinscience at PUS.

The authors argue that existing theory falls flat in explaining this and it left me wondering if this is—on average—an individual-level motivated trust/threat response for liberals as well as conservatives.

It’s just my musing. They find the levels of trust diverge, in part, because liberal trust in science is increasing. It could be that science is more trustworthy, but I read it as a motivated response of reporting higher trust because it is under threat.
