Resumen

El objetivo de este artículo es contribuir a la mejora del conocimiento del proceso cognitivo que conduce al reconocimiento de la institución policial como merecedora de confianza. Basándonos en la teoría evolucionaria, planteamos la hipótesis de que los mecanismos cognitivos que sostienen la confianza en las instituciones han de ser los mismos que los que la evolución esculpió para hacer emerger la confianza en las interacciones sociales. Esto nos permitirá identificar tres mecanismos generadores de confianza en las instituciones: la evaluación de su eficacia, la evaluación de la justicia de sus procedimientos y la identificación o alineamiento moral con la institución. Ponemos a prueba estas hipótesis analizando datos de la Encuesta Social Europea. Basándonos en el análisis de ocho modelos de regresión, concluimos que los tres mecanismos ejercen una influencia significativa sobre la confianza, y por tanto han de ser considerados en cualquier aproximación a la comprensión de este fenómeno. Además del efecto neto de cada variable, las tres muestran algunos patrones de interacción teóricamente relevantes y estadísticamente significativos.
