Abstract
The article formulates and verifies hypotheses about the relationship between formal institutions and interpersonal trust. To evaluate this hypothesis, indices of institutions from various crossinstitutional studies and indices of generalized (generalized) interpersonal trust are used. The data obtained because of applying the correlation analysis method to 27 countries allow us to confirm the formulated hypothesis. Countries are grouped according to the degree of strength of formal institutions and the level of generalized (generalized) trust. The connection between formal social institutions and generalized (generalized) interpersonal trust in the grouping of countries on a civilizational basis is investigated. When countries are divided into groups based on civilization, a negative correlation is found between formal social institutions and generalized (generalized) interpersonal trust in Islamic, Confucian and Orthodox civilizations. To explain the negative nature of the relationship between interpersonal trust and formal legal and political institutions, the author turns to the cultural specifics of these groups of countries. In conclusion, a generalized characteristic of the relationship of formal social institutions with the level of generalized (generalized) interpersonal trust in civilizational groups of countries is given.
