Abstract
This article aims to detect the level of Croatian youth’s social trust, as well as to identify the generators or determinants of this phenomenon. It argues that social trust is, following social capital theory and human development theory, determined by institutional and sociocultural contexts, respectively. It is especially important to identify the way it is formed, considering the democratic deficit and the process of retraditionalization that occurred in Croatian society. The results show that both institutional and cultural factors influence the level of social trust in the expected direction. The analysis uses data from a national survey conducted in 2010 (N = 2,000), which is a national representative sample of university students from all public universities in Croatia.
