摘要：Human communities are based on a certain set of everyday attitudes, on the coordinationof the actions of “the self ” in a group, and on the regulation of social practices.The results of this study show that a number of factors act as determinants of trust/distrust ambivalence: the multidimensionality and the dynamics of interactions amongpeople; the high level of subjectivity in evaluating risks resulting from openness and fromconfidence in partners involved in an interaction; and a subject’s contradictory attitudetoward the personal traits of an interacting partner (power, activity, honesty, trustworthiness).Japanese scholars have proved the necessity of taking into account quality of life(QOL) as one of the determinants of the development of interpersonal confidence. Thestudy demonstrates that people try to bring trust into their daily routines as a way of organizingconscientious, emotionally open interactions that take into account the interestsof all parties. Mistrust blocks access to the emotional, intellectual, and activity-relatedresources supporting life and undermines faith in the possibility of virtue and morality.Yet a supplementary study (using instant diagnostics) indicates that in practice respondentsdid not demonstrate a high level of confidence (in two cities it was 0%; in one city,it was 4.6%). In spite of emotionally positive views regarding trust, as well as constructiveestimates of its moral/behavioral potential, a considerable number of respondents werenot open and oriented to the interests of others. A tendency toward caution, inwardness,and constrained sincerity leads to nonconformity in one’s actions in a group and tochanges in the vector of social practices from socio-partner regulation to disorganizedinteraction.
