Recent research has demonstrated that, for young adults, officers' accommodative practices are potent predictors of civilians' attributed trust in police, and their perceived likelihood of compliance with police requests. The present study continued this line of work in the United States and Bulgaria. The latter context is not only intriguing as little communication research has been conducted there, but is significant in being heralded as having one of the most corrupt governments and law enforcement institutions in the European Community. Besides differences between nations, results revealed that for U.S.A. participants, officer accommodativeness indirectly predicted civilian compliance through trust. For those in Bulgaria, however, only direct relationships were foundâ??between officer accommodation and civilian trust, and between accommodation and compliance. The latter finding is fairly unique and the theoretical and practical significance of these are discussed. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
