This study showed how specific policy beliefs are influenced by individuals' various levels of general social trust and multi-dimensional social networks such as intensiveness and extensiveness. By analyzing the 2004 General Social Survey, the study found that general social trust and network intensiveness and extensiveness conditionally influence policy beliefs based various policy types. General social trust reinforces positive attitudes toward redistributive policies for the poor and morality policies on gay rights. Network intensiveness and extensiveness influence supportive tendencies for government regulations on morality policies, but do not do so for other types of policies. In addition, there are no statistical differences between single and multiple network intensiveness and extensiveness on policy beliefs as long an individual is involved in any type of social network. Although there was a mixture of evidence, the study proved that various elements of social capital influence different policy attitudes.
