Kapitał społeczny polskich studentów na tle międzynarodowym z wykorzystaniem wyników badań eksperymentalnych
Journal Title: Przegląd Socjologiczny - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
This article presents the results of experimental research carried out in Poland on chosen aspects of social capital. The aspects considered are: trust, trustworthiness, and cooperation. The authors use a novel method of assessing the level of social capital, which is aimed at describing the form of such capital more objectively. The method applied is based on the observed behaviour of individuals, and not on declarations. This enables us to investigate the gap between intention and behaviour. Our research was conducted on a total of 1540 students at universities in 16 Polish cities – each being a regional capital, and was based on commonly used experimental games: the „Trust Game” and the „Public Goods Game”. These results are compared to studies from a large number of other countries all over the world. The results from the trust game indicate that there is a low level of trust in Poland, which confirms the results obtained from periodic social surveys. However, the level of cooperation observed in the „Public Goods Game” is surprisingly high.
