“…This finding confirms a positive relationship between trust in government and better health. While a longitudinal study by Islam et al (2021) found that trust in government at a specific time in the early stages of the Covid-19 will become a predisposition for future stages of the epidemic. In other words, if the public has better trust in government at earlier stages, then the more likely it is to have less beliefs in misinformation at later times.…”

“…In addition, public education and training are needed to improve the information literacy of individuals and equip them with the skills to examine the credibility of information. Islam et al (2021) suggest that during the Covid-19 rumor situation, public administrators and policy makers need to recognize that governments should focus on overall public management so that their performance does not contribute to the creation of distrustful tendencies. Moreover, some studies also provide some recommendations for government management of specific groups.…”

This paper conducts a systematic review of articles on trust in government and rumor-related behavior published during the Covid-19 pandemic (2020-2022). This systematic review seeks to answer two questions: first, whether there is a link between trust in government and rumor-related behavior; and second, whether there are any recommendations for the government to reduce the negative impact of rumors and improve government reputation. According to the PRISMA guideline, we chose 11 articles for discussion from the Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. According to the findings, increased trust in government can promote positive health behaviors. Furthermore, we found some suggestions for the government to reduce the negative impact of rumors while maintaining trust levels.

“…Van Ryzin ( 2007) demonstrated that better government performance increases individuals' trust in that government. Islam et al (2021) found that without knowledge about government performance, people may not form beliefs and perceptions, and thus may not trust the government. Rahmafitria et al (2021) showed that adequate knowledge collected by tourists increases their favorable traveling attitudes and intentions.…”

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, destinations are facing the crisis of losing benefits, tourists and reputations, and the negative evaluations of destination performances. Trust is an important variable which has been used in crisis management and destination development. Moreover, destination trust can be used as an effective tool to increase tourists' travel intention and revitalize tourism after the COVID-19. However, limited studies have examined the role of destination trust in tourists' travel decision after the pandemic. The purpose of this study was to explore antecedents of destination trust from cognitive perspective and to examine the role of destination trust in tourists' travel behaviors after the COVID-19 pandemic. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire from Mainland Chinese tourists who plan to travel to Macau after the pandemic in May and June 2022. The results showed that destination trust was influenced by destination image, destination reputation and knowledge of government performance. Destination image and reputation were important antecedents of travel intention. Destination reputation had the strongest impact on destination trust and travel intention. This study extends the existing literature and provides a new conceptual framework to examine travel intention by emphasizing the effect of destination trust. From practical implications, this study provides suggestions to destinations to deal with crisis caused by the pandemic, and to facilitate the recovery of tourism industry. Destination managers should provide satisfying performances, and rebuild strong destination images and reputation to increase tourists' trust of destination and travel intention after the COVID-19.

“…In the related literature, studies on reliance on social media are generally categorized under two umbrellas. The first one is the reliance on social media posts made by official institutions and authorities (Islam et al, 2023; Van Dijck & Alinejad, 2020) and the second one is the trust in posts made by highly popular people who do not have official authority but have influence among social media users (Ahmed et al, 2021; Tayal & Bharathi, 2021). In social media, people with high influence are generally referred to as “phenomena” (Schuetz et al, 2021).…”

Height on the COVID‐19 pandemic (2020–2021), a considerable atmosphere of uncertainty and insecurity has emerged throughout the world. At the same time, social media and conspiracy theories have gained a lot of popularity. However, due to the impact of science and scientists on the public countering these sources of information, the outcome of the test given by science during the pandemic is still unclear. In this study, the relationship between trust in science and scientists, reliance on social media, belief in conspiracy theories, and pandemic awareness is modeled. A total of 953 adults from Turkey participated in the study and the obtained data were analyzed with the structural equation model. According to the results of the path analysis, reliance on social media influencers and belief in conspiracy theories affect trust in science both directly and indirectly. In addition, there is a positive relationship between pandemic awareness and trust in science.
