Abstract
Research in Asia, South Africa, and the United States has produced models of police-civilian interaction that highlight the effect of officers’ communication accommodation on attitudinal outcomes. Specif ically, this research has demonstrated that of ficers’ accommodative practices are potent predictors of civilians’ attributed trust in police and their perceived likelihood of compliance with police requests. The present study continued this line of work in Russia, using Turkish and American comparison groups; 617 univ ersity students reported how accommodating they perceived police to be, the degree to which they trusted officers, and their inclinations to comply with them. In addition to intriguing differences that emerged between the nations, overall results revealed that officer accommodativeness indirectly predicted civilian compliance through trust. The hypothesized model was largely supported and culturally sensitive.
