OBJECTIVES
This study investigated the macro-level effects of general trust on second language willingness to communicate (WTC) among Japanese individuals residing in 20 prefectural capitals. Previous research has shown the impact of individual-level general trust on WTC; however, macro-level effects have not been explored.
RESULTS
Multilevel analysis in this research revealed that individual- and prefectural capital-level general trust had a positive influence on WTC in English for Japanese people. Moreover, macro-level effects had a strong predictive power for WTC, thus, highlighting the potential of general trust to facilitate positive connections between people from different cultures.
目的
本研究考察了一般信任对居住在日本 20 个都道府县首府的日本人第二语言意愿（WTC）的宏观影响。先前的研究表明，个体层面的一般信任对 WTC 有影响；然而，尚未探讨宏观层面的影响。
结果
本研究中的多层次分析表明，个人和都道府县首府层面的一般信任对日本人的英语 WTC 有积极影响。此外，宏观层面的影响对 WTC 具有很强的预测能力，因此突出了一般信任在促进不同文化背景的人之间建立积极联系的潜力。
