PLAYING BINGO (from the 1972 ANES): gender and membership in social organizations are the strongest determinants of bingo playing. Also in the model are membership in fraternal organizations, believing that luck rather than skill determines whether you win in games of chance, feeling bored, and satisfaction with your time to relax. The equation for trust included whether it is safe to walk the streets in the neighborhood, whether you believe that you can make your plans work out, whether public officials care about me, trust in government, believing that you can run your life as you wish, whether good Americans must believe in God, particularized trust (out-group thermometers – in-group thermometers), a dummy variable for being black, whether the bad is balanced by the good, age, and belief in life after death. In the simple probit, trust is negatively related to playing bingo and is significant at p < .0001.
