چکیده

Political trust is one of the dimensions of social capital that indicates trust in the actors, institution and political system of society. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between religiosity and political trust. The research method is survey and the statistical population includes 15 to 29 year olds in Abadan. The sample size is 380 people and the random sampling method is simple. The data collection tool was a questionnaire and the data were collected by SPSS software after collection.

The findings showed that the level of religiosity is moderate and the average political trust is equal to 2.21, which is a higher than average number. There is a significant relationship between religiosity and its four dimensions with political trust. The results showed that the relationship between religiosity and political trust is direct and positive. Thus, the higher the level of religiosity, the higher the level of political trust among them, and conversely, the lower the level of religiosity of the youth, the lower the level of political trust among them. Religiosity explains about 40.5% of political trust and then the consequence of religiosity has the greatest effect on political trust. The result is that increasing the political trust of the youth depends on religiosity, and in order to strengthen trust, more attention should be paid to religiosity and its dimensions.
