Abstract

This article examines the interplay between corruption, personality traits and political trust. It argues that individuals’ personality traits may condition the effect of corruption experience on trust and that these traits also affect how individuals are exposed to corrupt experiences. Using data from the AmericasBarometer 2010, the study finds that openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness and emotional stability amplify the negative effect of corruption on trust in the police. However, only extraversion amplifies the negative effect of corrupt experiences on trust in government. The study also finds that openness, extraversion, agreeableness and emotional stability are linked to exposure to corruption. The study contributes to the literature by showing that personality affects exposure to corruption and constrains the effect of corruption on political trust.

谁在经历腐败后降低了政治信任？介绍性格特征的作用

本文考察了腐败、人格特征和政治信任之间的相互作用。它认为，个人的人格特征可能会影响腐败经历对信任的影响，这些特征也会影响个人如何接触腐败经历。利用2010年美国晴雨表的数据，该研究发现，开放、认真、随和和情绪稳定会放大腐败对警察信任的负面影响。然而，只有外向性才会放大腐败经历对政府信任的负面影响。研究还发现，开放性、外向性、宜人性和情绪稳定性与腐败暴露有关。该研究表明，人格影响腐败暴露，并限制腐败对政治信任的影响，从而为文献做出了贡献。
