TL;DR: For instance, this article analyzed responses from 3,323 individuals across 26 nations (mean age = 22.3 years, 31% male) who were asked to rate the five-factor personality traits of typical men or women in three age groups (adolescent, adult, and older adult).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between individualism/collectivism and generalized social trust across 31 European nations participating in the European Social Survey, showing a significant and positive relationship between Individualism/Collectivism and general social trust, over and above the effect of a country's political history of communism.
