In this study, the relationship between different levels of trust including basic trust, interpersonal trust, institutional trust, and generalized trust with the participation of rangeland beneficiaries in rangeland rehabilitation and reclamation projects was investigated. The survey instrument was a questionnaire. The statistical population included all rangeland beneficiaries (78 people) in Choghakadoo, Sarpolzohab. The sample size was determined to be 67 people using Cochran's formula. Stratified random sampling was used to select the samples and SPSS20 software was used to analyze the data. The results of this study showed that there was a positive and significant correlation between different levels of trust with the participation rate of rangeland beneficiaries in rangeland improvement and reclamation and the correlation between the generalized trust and the participation of rangeland beneficiaries was stronger. Furthermore, in this study, 34 indices of different levels of trust were reduced to 12 factors by the factor analysis method, totally explaining 36/71% of variation in dependent variable (participation in rangeland improvement and reclamation. Generalized trust could be named as the first and most influential factor in this method. Therefore, considering the effect of different levels of trust in the participation of rangeland beneficiaries, it can be stated that the increased generalized trust, which is one of the dimensions of outgroup social capital, will result in increased efficiency of the participation of rangeland beneficiaries in range improvement and reclamation as compared with other levels of trust.
