Disbelief, scepticism (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cynicism

(Other definitions for cynicism that I've seen before include "Inclination to believe the worst of people" , "Pessimism and distrust" , "Disbelief" , "Attitude that people's motives are generally bad" , "Attitude that people are generally selfish and untrustworthy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
