The main goal was to estimate the validity of measuring the respective concepts. In order to achieve this goal, we conducted a number of Principal Component Analyses and Confirmatory Factor Analyses. Additionally, we used multilevel regression modelling to test and compare the effect of socio-demographic variables on political and interpersonal trust in both researches. We identified that socio-demographic predictors had a similar effect on both types of trust. The paper is complemented with descriptive data that portray the differences among countries when it comes to interpersonal and political trust.}, keywords = {EVS; EVS; Vertrauen; confidence; Messung; measurement; Test; test; Mehrebenenanalyse; multi-level analysis; Validität; validity; soziale Faktoren; social factors; demographische Faktoren; demographic factors}}
