A Genetic Basis for Social Trust? (2010, background): “At the aggregate level, trust has been shown to be correlated with the total number of associational memberships (Paxton 2007) and indices of democratic governance at regional and national levels (Inglehart 1997; Knack 2002; Norris 2001).”
Does intelligence foster generalized trust? An empirical test using the UK birth cohort studies (2010, background): “…a desirable commodity for individuals as well as societies, with trusters concentrated amongst the better educated (Nie, Junn & Stehlik-Barry, 1996; Paxton, 2007; Putnam, 2000), those in professional occupations and higher income groups (Alesina & Ferrera, 2002; Li, Pickles & Savage, 2005) and…”
Personality traits and the propensity to trust friends and strangers (2016, background): “In general, social trust can be described as an expectation that people will behave with good will, that they intend to honor their commitments, and that they will avoid harming others (Glanville & Paxton, 2007, p. 231; Barber, 1983; Yamagishi & Yamagishi, 1994)2.”

An Examination Using New Longitudinal Data (2013, background): “For example, Glanville and Paxton (2007) find that trust within more localized domains, such as family, neighbors, and coworkers, produces higher levels of trust in generalized others, and that a model that incorporates the generalization mechanism is more consistent with the data than other…”
Generalized Trust Through Civic Engagement? Evidence from Five National Panel Studies (2015, background): “Members of voluntary associations display higher levels of trust than nonmembers (Brehm & Rahn, 1997; Claibourn & Martin, 2000; Paxton, 2007; Sønderskov, 2010; Stolle, 1998, 2001b; Stolle & Rochon, 1998; Wollebæk & Strømsnes, 2008).”
Does Generalized Social Trust Lead to Associational Membership? Unravelling a Bowl of Well-Tossed Spaghetti (2011, background): “Newton 2003; 2005; Freitag 2003; Howard and Gilbert 2008; Mayer 2003; Paxton 2007; Stolle and Rochon”
Crafting Trust (2009, methodology): “!! In addition to the institutional variables, empirical research on trust suggests a number of other potentially influential factors, both at the micro and macro levels (see Alesina & La Ferrara, 2000; Delhey & Newton, 2005; Freitag, 2003a, 2003b; Paxton, 2007; Putnam, 1993, 2007; Rothstein & Stoll”
