Using a large sample of 1,120 twins and the multivariate ACE-Cholesky model, we estimated the heritability of trust using four distinct measures of trust – domain-specific political trust, general self-reported trust, and incentivized behavioral trust and trustworthiness. Across the different measures of trust we consider, our estimates for heritability range from 1 % to 37 %. Furthermore, the environmental correlates of trust also vary across the different measures with political trust having the largest set of environmental covariates. To reconcile the variation in the estimated heritability of trust in the literature, we provide a meta-analysis of the heritability of behavioral and stated trust.
