Introduction: Social
Trust is considered as a social phenomenon that plays a vital role in human
interactions and its relationships. Researches have shown that religion can be
an important factor in the production of social trust. The purpose of the present paper
is to do a sociological analysis of the relationship between religiosity and
social trust.
Method: This
study is a survey. The statistical population is students of Behbahan Islamic
Azad University in the period of 1392-1393. Among them, 346 were randomly
selected by using Cochran formula and then the questionnaires were distributed
among them.
Results: The
results showed that a significant positive correlation between the ideological,
religious and ritual implications and interpersonal trust is fundamental. There
is also a significant positive correlation between religiosity and trust in the
basic experiment.
Discussion:
About the paradox in the relationship among religious dimensions, generalized
and institutionalized trust maybe this interpretation is correct to say that
whether religiosity is superficial or regarding trust issues, the living
environment is so badly damaged and traumatized that even religiosity of the
people cannot persuade them to act with good will.
