Summary/Abstract: The paper’s chief objective is to analyse the social trust of the citizens of Łódź and the country districts in Łódź voivodeship across three dimensions: a vertical one (in relation to different institutions) and two horizontal ones – private (towards individuals one knows) and generalised (towards most people). An additional objective is to determine the level of trust in the analysed groups as well as to point to attributive determinants of the types of social trust.
