Current research
The aim of my dissertation is to explore the factors that generate social trust among adolescents. Specifically, I am interested in the potentially detrimental effect of volatile events upon particularized, institutional and generalized trust. I also wish to explore the effects of inherited trust and peer influence during adolescence.
