Abstract

Large-scale collective action problems (CAPS), such as reducing single-use plastics, remain a pressing global challenge that necessitates authorities to lead or set a direction. This research proposal seeks to explore the relationship between cultural orientation and trust in authority as a potential avenue to address CAPS using a daily-diary experiment.
