Abstract

In modern conditions, the issues of studying the category of Trust have become particularly relevant, especially from the standpoint of economics, politics and society. The object of the study is the Russian population and its attitude to various public institutions, the subject is the phenomenon of Trust and its impact on socio-economic processes. The purpose of this article is to study theoretical approaches to assessing the category of Trust, as well as to analyze the existing level of trust of Russians in various public institutions, organizations, economic and social changes. Currently, the study of this category is becoming increasingly practical and necessary for making effective and informed decisions. This is very relevant, because in connection with the current situation in the country, namely: unprecedented pressure, sanctions restrictions, changes in social policy, distortion of information and an increase in the entropy of the information field (the appearance of fakes), a difficult political situation – leads to the realization that society is in a state of constant pressure. The results of such influences are a lack of trust on the part of the population and, as a consequence, the loss of the ability to reliably perceive the political, social and economic processes taking place. The article uses theoretical and practical studies of domestic and foreign scientists, the results of surveys and monitoring of VTSIOM, as well as the results of two studies that were conducted by the ISEPN of the FNSC RAS together with the IS RAS and the Institute of Biofeedback and NOO-Psychosomatics. The author's tools were used to conduct the survey, part of which was devoted to the issues of respondents' trust in various institutions. The results obtained have both theoretical and practical significance for scientists, researchers and specialists who deal with the impact of trust on the socio-economic aspects of human life, as well as for various government structures involved in solving social and economic issues for the possibility of relieving various types of risks.
