Abstract Citizenship is a bilateral and social idea, and it is not just a set of rights that free an individual from the commitment to others. Also avoidance of citizenship responsibility is to circumvent the tasks such as the civic affairs and participation. For Ztumka, moral community deals with trust, sense of responsibility and obligation towards others with whom it has common values, interests and goals. To Parsons considers, trust is the factor that creates social unity, cohesion, and order. Therefore, the present study attempted to investigate the relationship between the level of social mistrust and the avoidance of citizenship responsibility among Tehrani citizens in 2019. We did a survey and to collect the data we used the structured questionnaire and cluster sampling amongst Tehrani citizens over 18. Also, 384 respondents were selected as our sample using Cochran's sampling formula. Due to the corona virus pandemic, 356 respondents were interviewed and the data were analysed using Mplus8 and SPSS software. Descriptive findings showed that citizenship irresponsibility among the respondents is higher than the average. Besides, the amount of social mistrust, particularly the organizational mistrust, was higher than the average. Inferential results revealed that social mistrust (.0.72), citizenship rights (./29), and education level (./16) had a significant relationship with citizenship.
