Trust monitoring in times of crisis

How trust responds to crises is followed through repeated rounds of the same question set. Measurement points are announced in advance, and each round is compared with the one before it.

Purpose and scope

  • How far trust in institutions moves in the face of events, and how lasting that movement is, is measured. Change is reported only from repeated measurement, never from a single round.

  • The monitor is bound to the question set of the institutional trust round; the interval between rounds is set out in the method annex. Its starting point is the findings of the first round.
