Americans are suffering more than ever from a lack of trust in their fellow humans. Those are findings from the latest General Social Survey, a sociological survey that has tracked changes in American society since 1972. Trust is crucial for a society because people are unwilling or unable to put their faith in one another without it.

According to the GSS, 25.3 percent of respondents in 2022—representing 1 in 4 Americans—said that “most people can be trusted”. This is down from 46.8 percent of respondents in 1972. In a previous survey known as the DDB Needham Life Style Survey, Americans’ trust peaked in 1967–1968, when 56% of survey respondents agreed that “most people can be trusted.” You can see the trends between 1972 and 2022 below.
