Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: As social capital theory claims, social trust and involvement in voluntary associations are inextricably related with each other. By getting together in voluntary associations, members learn how to cooperate, develop norms of reciprocity and a sense of tolerance for others’ views, broaden their own horizon and become more trustful. Soon after the publication of Putnam’s seminal work, first critics stressed the need for a refinement of the concept since evidentially not each and every association exerts those benign societal effects. Putnam responded to those arguments by developing the concept of bonding and bridging social capital. Although this differentiated concept has been rapidly influencing scientific debates ever since, it still lacks empirical confirmation. Instead of referring to the heterogeneity or homogeneity of social backgrounds of social activists, it is argued in this paper that the context itself, namely the associations and their goals, determine the members’ potential of becoming socially trustful. The successful pursuit of a group’s goal presupposes social norms which develop within this group and are designed to reach its aim. As the theories of social identity and self-categorization suggest and make clear, social norms do not only guide group members’ behaviour but, more importantly, can result in a long-lasting change of individual orientations. Accordingly, social norms in positive reference groups, such as voluntary associations, should have the potential to exert a meaningful impact on social activists’ orientations irrespective of the homogeneity or heterogeneity of social backgrounds in this group. Based on the German ‘Citizenship, Involvement, Democracy’ population survey it is demonstrated that this interdisciplinary theoretical approach does not only fill an important theoretical gap in social capital research but does also stand up to empirical testing.
