- Recently, survey institutes have changed their measurement of generalized trust from the standard dichotomy to an eleven-point scale. Additionally, these survey institutes use different wordings and some of them provide a “don’t know” option. Using two survey based experiments, one on 12,000 self-selected Swedes and the other on a probability-based sample of 3,000 Swedes, this article evaluates the generalized trust question in terms of wordings, scales, and inclusion of a don’t know option. The findings suggest that, in line with the advice from Krosnick and Fabrigar (1997), generalized trust is as good measured using a minimally balanced question wording as a fully balanced; is best measured with a seven- or eleven-point scale with a neutral midpoint; and is best measured without including a don’t know option.
