| Summary: | It was correctly hypothesized that students at a conservative Christian college would be less trusting than secular-college students toward people in general (generalized trust), replicating Wrights man (1964), but (hat Christian-college students would be higher in dyadic trust toward a dating partner than would be the case for students at a secular college. Differences in dyadic trust were smaller for more advanced stages of courtship, suggesting that greater initial trust by Christians toward their religious partners accounted for the dyadic trust effect. Data from a religious subsample from the secular university supported the conclusions that the dyadic trust differences were associated with religiosity while the generalized trust differences were associated with selection of college. The results were also related to trust patterns for minority groups in general- The study illustrates (he potential of using differences between prevailing Christian versus psychological conclusions to stimulate research contributions to psychology and to theology. |
