Abstract

Does ethnic diversity erode social trust? Continued immigration and corresponding growing ethnic diversity have prompted this essential question for modern societies, but few clear answers have been reached in the sprawling literature. This article reviews the literature on the relationship between ethnic diversity and social trust through a narrative review and a meta-analysis of 1,001 estimates from 87 studies. The review clarifies the core concepts, highlights pertinent debates, and tests core claims from the literature on the relationship between ethnic diversity and social trust. Several results stand out from the meta-analysis. We find a statistically significant negative relationship between ethnic diversity and social trust across all studies. The relationship is stronger for trust in neighbors and when ethnic diversity is measured more locally. Covariate conditioning generally changes the relationship only slightly. The review concludes by discussing avenues for future research.
族群多样性与社会信任:叙事与元分析回顾
种族多样性会侵蚀社会信任吗?持续的移民和相应的日益增长的种族多样性为现代社会提出了这个基本问题,但在庞大的文献中几乎没有得到明确的答案。本文通过对87项研究的1001个估计值的叙述回顾和荟萃分析,对种族多样性与社会信任关系的文献进行了综述。这篇综述澄清了核心概念,突出了相关的争论,并检验了关于种族多样性与社会信任关系的文献中的核心主张。荟萃分析中有几个结果很突出。我们发现,在所有研究中,种族多样性与社会信任之间存在显著的负相关关系。当对邻居的信任和种族多样性更多地在当地衡量时,这种关系会更牢固。协变量条件作用通常只会轻微地改变这种关系。本文最后讨论了未来研究的方向。
