'Obwohl das interpersonales Vertrauen in den letzten Jahren zu einem wichtigen sozialwissenschaftlichen Konzept geworden ist, lässt die Messung dieser Variablen nach wie vor zu wünschen übrig. Die meisten international vergleichenden Studien verwenden die alte Variable aus dem amerikanischen General Social Survey (AGSS-Item), die häufig als vage und unreliabel kritisiert worden ist. Im ISSPModul 1998 zum Thema Religion ist versucht worden, die Frageformulierung des AGSS-Items zu verbessern. Das Papier untersucht, ob dieser Versuch verfolgreich war. Das Resultat ist positiv. Das neue Item korreliert mit Institutionenvertrauen höher als die alte AGSS-Frage.' (Autorenreferat)... view less

'Although interpersonal trust has become a prominent concept in social theories the measurement theory is still underdeveloped. Most comparative surveys still apply the old American General Social Survey question (AGSS item) which has often been criticised as vague and unreliable. In the ISSP module 1998 on religion it has been tried to improve the wording of the item. The paper investigates whether this new item in ISSP 1998 correlates higher with external variables than the old AGSS item in the European Value Study 1999. The result is positive. The new item displays a higher correlation with confidence in institutions than the old AGSS measure.' (author's abstract)|... view less
