Abstract
Higher education institutions are increasingly placing emphasis on preparing students to navigate a world in which there is significant intergroup conflict, polarization, and decreasing trust in others and social institutions (e.g., government, law enforcement, science, media). Decades of research have highlighted a variety of factors associated with trust and trust development, with one prominent factor being individuals’ group memberships (e.g., their race, class, religion). Intergroup dialogue (IGD) is a prominent and research-based approach to developing college students’ capacity to engage with and dialogue across such differences. Among the various intergroup processes and outcomes that have been focal points in previous IGD scholarship, trust is one aspect of the IGD experience that has received relatively little attention. Thus, we reviewed and analyzed the trust and IGD literatures to further illuminate ways in which trust plays a role in IGD. Implications of this review for IGD theory, practice, and future research are discussed.
