You might have an interest in the most recent Future of the Internet survey from Pew Internet. It tested futures scenarios in which it was projected that social trust/tolerance might be heightened and in which it was projected that transparency will heighten individual integrity and forgiveness. Trust issues are incorporated in both of these questions. http://www.elon.edu/e-web/predictions/expertsurveys/2008survey/internet_and_ tolerance_2020.xhtml http://www.elon.edu/e-web/predictions/expertsurveys/2008survey/internet_and_ privacy_identity_2020.xhtml Janna On 2/12/09 6:22 AM, "Peter Timusk" <ptimusk@sympatico.ca> wrote:

Dear all,
I have been involved in the planning of a Swedish survey looking at motives for voluntary work and social trust (generally), and would like to include some questions on uses of the internet in relation to the development of social trust, social capital, and participation in voluntary work that has been tried out previously in international research during the last 2-3 years.
Any suggestions of questions and/or publication where I can find this kind of research questions would be most helpful!
Thank you in advance for your help,
