Those one-question surveys are often too simplistic, don't reflect people's real attitudes or behavior wrt trust.

- esafak 3y agoFair enough. I could not put a number on them, but I can confirm Middle Eastern countries are low trust. I do not think this is a controversial point.
- Georgelemental 3y agoYes, the surveys are far from useless either. But for example, I think China's high trust number is too reductive. From what I have heard (never been there)—violence/property crime are rare in China, you can maybe leave your door unlocked, people are polite, etc. But people worry about the doctor overcharging you, students cheating on exams, corruption in the government, etc.
