Psychological insecurity and interpersonal trust were empirically tested in a conceptual model in relation to several personality and social measures as theoretical antecedents, and to interpersonal relationships and feelings of life satisfaction as hypothesized outcomes. Questionnaire data from 301 Chinese adults showed psychological insecurity to be significantly and positively correlated with neuroticism and dependency, while negatively related to family emotional support, emotional intelligence, openness, and agreeableness; and the regression revealed neuroticism to be the strongest predictor of psychological insecurity. The results for interpersonal trust showed a significant negative correlation with psychological insecurity, and a pattern of correlations with all the other variables that were in the opposite direction of those for psychological insecurity; and the regression revealed agreeableness to be the strongest predictor of interpersonal trust. Interpersonal trust was also a significant predictor of coworker support and life satisfaction. The research identified behaviors that should be able to reduce psychological insecurity, and others that could increase interpersonal trust, with the overall results demonstrating the importance of being emotionally supportive and honest with other people to reduce feelings of psychological insecurity and increase interpersonal trust.

Research And Policy

Adults with disability have significantly lower rates of labor force participation relative to persons without disability, although it is unclear whether this disparity extends to subjective workplace experiences. Using data from the 2004 to 2006 wave of the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (n =2,030), we evaluate: (1) whether U.S. workers with physical disability report higher levels of perceived job discrimination and unequal workplace opportunities and lower levels of supervisor and coworker support and (2) whether these patterns differ by sex, age, and occupation group. We find that workers with physical disability fare significantly worse on all four outcomes net of covariates. Disability takes a particularly large toll on men’s perceived workplace opportunities and white-collar employees’ relationships with coworkers. Young adult workers (ages 30–39) with disability report significantly more support from their supervisor relative to their counterparts without disability. We discuss implications for research and policy.

Satisfaction Relationship

Elite and professional sport events have been recognized as potential mechanisms to enhance well-being. This multicountry study investigates how engagement in such events, behaviorally through live spectating and psychologically through team identification, is associated with life satisfaction. Data from Australia (N = 268) revealed a positive association between live spectating and life satisfaction through a two-wave design measuring live spectating and life satisfaction in separate surveys. Data from the United States (N = 564) confirmed the live spectating–life satisfaction relationship found in Study 1. Additionally, Study 2 revealed individuals with higher levels of team identification perceived greater emotional support from other fans, and this perception, in turn, predicted life satisfaction. Our findings provide sport managers with implications for positioning appeals in support of sport programs and designing events that facilitate engagement to promote life satisfaction in the community.

Preliminary Study

La confianza interpersonal es un elemento clave en el desarrollo y mantenimiento de interacciones sociales positivas y se ha asociado positivamente con la satisfacción con la vida (Putnam, 2000). Específicamente, es un factor promotor de la salud física y el funcionamiento psicosocial durante la lactancia y la adolescencia (Rotenberg, 2010). A pesar de la importancia de la confianza en la vida cotidiana, no hay consenso sobre su definición y, a su vez, sobre su evaluación. Además, aún se desconoce el papel de la confianza en un entorno en línea. Puede ser importante explorarlo, ya que hoy en día los adolescentes pasan cada vez más tiempo en Internet, un entorno donde tienen lugar muchas relaciones sociales. Por lo tanto, la confianza en línea podría identificarse como un elemento que puede garantizar el éxito de estas interacciones (Stratford, 2000). Partiendo de la perspectiva teórica de Falcone y Castelfranchi (2001), quienes definieron la confianza como una construcción compleja y dinámica, el presente estudio piloto tiene como objetivo investigar la confianza en línea / fuera de línea de los adolescentes y su influencia en la satisfacción con la vida. En particular, operacionalizamos la confianza según la teoría de los autores mencionados anteriormente y en base a dos ingredientes mentales esenciales, que son los objetivos y las creencias sobre el fideicomitente y el administrador y el comportamiento del administrador. Además, tomamos en cuenta las interacciones sociales tanto en línea como fuera de línea. La investigación, llevada a cabo dentro de una escuela secundaria en la provincia de Nápoles (Italia), involucró a 108 adolescentes, de edades comprendidas entre 11 y 14. Los datos se obtuvieron mediante un cuestionario ad hoc. En particular, la confianza en las interacciones en línea y fuera de línea se midió a través de una escala Likert de 5 puntos compuesta de 30 elementos; la satisfacción con la vida se investigó a través de la Escala breve de satisfacción de la vida de los estudiantes multidimensionales (BMSLSS; Huebner et al., 2004). El análisis factorial demuestra que la confianza en línea y fuera de línea son dimensiones distintas (24% y 18% de la varianza explicada, respectivamente). Además, solo la confianza fuera de línea se relaciona positivamente con la satisfacción con la vida de los adolescentes en diferentes dominios de la vida (por ejemplo, familia, escuela y pares). En general, los resultados sugieren la importancia de distinguir la confianza fuera de línea y en línea, y de explorar sus relaciones con los indicadores de ajuste para comprender cómo promover el bienestar de los adolescentes.

Managerial Implications

Trust is a crucial factor in personal as well as online exchanges due to their impersonal nature. In the information systems discipline, past research proposed and tested interpersonal trust formation as well as continuance in several contexts. Extending beyond interpersonal relationships, trust has been extrapolated as technology trust and applied to various technology contexts such as recommendation agents, inanimate software and objects. This paper presents a comprehensive review of interpersonal and technology trust constructs as applicable to ecommerce and technology contexts. Based on findings from past research this paper synthesizes research on interpersonal trust, trustworthiness and trust modes, and proposes a combined model of trust constructs. Based on the literature review and results from past research, this paper identifies an important gap in literature and proposes bases of technology trust constructs as an important contribution to literature. The theoretical and managerial implications are presented.
