Abstract

Prior research suggests that neighborhood context has an important role in shaping individuals' generalized trust, which is an important ingredient in establishing social capital and collective efficacy. Because most of the empirical research focuses on the direct effects of neighborhood conditions such as disadvantage and disorder, there is a rather limited understanding of how social mechanisms affect individual levels of trust. As a result, it remains unclear whether several theoretically relevant social processes mediate the effect of neighborhood disorder.
