Abstract

Our research is oriented on social psychological aspects of strust and responsibility. We try to explore and analyse, how the trust is represented in the mind of young people in several European countries. Data reported here were collected in the Czech republic, France, Russia, Scotland and Slovakia. Different aspects of trust (general trust, caution, knowledge based trust, incumbent based trust, regime based trust, trust in institutions) were related to other social or psychological phenomena that could throw some light on the meaning of trust (e.g. perceived justice, uncertainty, optimism-pesimism, individualism, egalitarism). Although our results reveal some similarities across countries (e. g. perceived injustice is generally strongly related to different aspects of trust), specific country patterns of correlations were found.
