This study was aimed at classifying the way that adolescents operate as members of society in terms of specific trust and identifying its relationship with both general and public trust. The relationships among the trust types were studied on the assumption that the relationships of adolescence operate as a form of social capital. To this end, a survey and an experimental game were conducted regarding the levels of the three trust types. The main results are as follows: First, according to both the survey and the experimental game, adolescents’ specific trust was in a positive relation with general trust. Second, adolescents’ specific trust did not indicate any meaningful relationship with public trust. Finally, the relationship between general trust and public trust revealed mixed results. This study is expected to form a contribution to discussions related to trust in that it deduced grounds for reinterpretation from the perspective of social capital regarding teenagers’ specific trust. Moreover, this study is valuable because it introduced experimental games as a tool to identify behavioral aspects in measurement methods, as opposed to simply relying solely upon evaluation methods based on self-reporting.
