In this model of civic engagement, in each project site, a citizen-monitoring group is formed to oversee the quality of implementation and report any irregularities to the authorities. We investigate whether the level of trust in the community affects the performance of their citizen-monitoring group and/or the interactions resulting from the participation in the monitoring task affects the level of trust of the monitoring group members. We measure trust using both a simplified trust game and a survey. Our finding is inconclusive to the question of whether the trust level in the community affects the performance of the citizen-monitoring group. While we find no such indication from the trust games, the data on generalized trust from the survey show a positive effect of trust on monitoring group activity. We find stronger support for the hypothesis that participation in the monitoring group affects the level of trust. According to our findings, the effect has been negative in this case. An additional aspect of our study is carrying out a simplified design that allows us to collect behavioral data effectively from a population that lacks general and technological literacy and to implement the experiment remotely under extraordinary circumstances, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. 2024-08-13T04:54:59Z 2024-08-13T04:54:59Z 2022-06 Journal article http://hdl.handle.net/10361/23743 en Elsevier |
