“…For Asian families, these motives may have been underrepresented in the Prosocialness Scale for Adults. On the other hand, lower levels of prosocial behavior in Eastern Europe compared to the overall sample might be explained by lower of social trust that has previously been observed in post-communist countries (e.g., Bjørnskov, 2007Bjørnskov, , 2021. If a society is characterized by doubts that most other people are behaving according to social norms, this might reduce the demonstration of prosocial behaviors.…”

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic fundamentally disrupted humans’ social life and behavior. Public health measures may have inadvertently impacted how people care for each other. This study investigated prosocial behavior, its association well-being, and predictors of prosocial behavior during the first COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and sought to understand whether region-specific differences exist. Participants (N = 9,496) from eight regions clustering multiple countries around the world responded to a cross-sectional online-survey investigating the psychological consequences of the first upsurge of lockdowns in spring 2020. Prosocial behavior was reported to occur frequently. Multiple regression analyses showed that prosocial behavior was associated with better well-being consistently across regions. With regard to predictors of prosocial behavior, high levels of perceived social support were most strongly associated with prosocial behavior, followed by high levels of perceived stress, positive affect and psychological flexibility. Sociodemographic and psychosocial predictors of prosocial behavior were similar across regions.

“…The correlation between the sampling rate and the reporting rate is observed to see if the AUC of the sampling rate and the reporting rate is > 0.8 (30,31,32). If an AUC > 0.8 is observed for the sampling rate and the reporting rate, then the sampling rate is a good predictor of the reporting rate, and since the reporting rate is assumed to be the golden standard of "civic honesty", that is, the sampling rate is a good predictor of "civic honesty", which is therefore, it can be proved that hypothesis A is not valid, that is the reporting rate is not the golden standard of "civic honesty", and there is an obvious design flaw in using reporting rate as a single indicator for evaluating "civic honesty" (33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43), which makes the findings in the literatur (5,6) 2, and ROC curves were plotted. The ROC curves were obtained by excluding the data with zero number of categories (e.g., if the Dj was 10% and the number of categories 1 or 2 was 0, then that the data with 10% of categories and the data with AUC confidence interval including 1 (44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52) were excluded.…”

To evaluate the correlation and predictive value between variables using a 3R method. Using the 3R method (a combined application of linear regression, ROC curve analysis, and R software to evaluate the correlation between variables and their predictive value), the ROC curve was introduced into the linear correlation regression analysis, and the R software was used to calculate the regression equation, AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and Jorden index to make a precise and accurate judgment of the correlation between variables.The linear regression model established for two variables with linear correlation was statistically significant, and ROC curve analysis was performed to quantitatively evaluate the predictive value between the variables. ROC curve was introduced into linear correlation regression analysis enabled a more accurate evaluation of the correlation between variables and their predictive value based on precise analysis. the R software was suitable for such analytical work.

“…Although early studies questioned the survey approach to measuring social trust, and specifically which type of trust it effectively measures, more recent studies have supported it. Social trust as measured in surveys for example correlates with individual behavior in anonymized laboratory experiments (Cox et al, 2009;Sapienza et al, 2013) and real-life wallet-drop experiments (Bjørnskov, 2021;Knack & Keefer, 1997). Trust also persists over time, and potentially across several generations, as it appears to be transmitted stably from parents to children (Katz & Rotter, 1969;Uslaner, 2008), and is shaped by deep historical differences (Nunn & Wantchekon, 2011).…”

Social trust and patterns of growth

The association between social trust and long‐run economic growth is well documented. However, which determinants of growth are affected by social trust remains an open question. This paper therefore explores to which extent social trust affects the rate of factor accumulation versus productivity improvements. Previous studies indicate that social trust could affect both the accumulation of physical and human capital and the rate of productivity increases. Existing literature also indicates that part of the growth effects may be due to how trust affects the quality of formal institutions. The effects of trust are estimated in a panel of 64 countries observed in 5‐year periods between 1977 and 2017, using growth accounting to separate patterns of growth. The results unequivocally show that social trust predominantly affects long‐run growth by affecting the growth of productivity and that only a small share of that effect runs through the effects of trust on formal institutions.
