dc.description.abstractCivic cooperation can range from small things such as voting to generously volunteering in support of the community. However, research confirms that generous cooperation beyond kinship cannot be taken for granted and is bound to conditions such as reciprocity, trust, and shared identity. Scholars such as Harvard scientist Robert Putnam and economist Paul Collier raised concern that increasingly ethnically heterogeneous societies might threaten virtues such as mutual trust and civic engagement. This research investigated how a participant's civic cooperation such as volunteering was associated with his/her levels of mutual trust and a shared identity. It addressed the concerns on the possible adverse effects of contemporary migration on civic cooperation. It was examined whether increased local ethnic diversity was associated with lower levels of local trust, national identification, and civic cooperation. The working hypothesis was that due to Switzerland’s history as an immigration country and its ethnolinguistic diversity, the negative hypotheses indicated by the literature could be rejected.de_CH
