Objectives:
Trust is a multidimensional variable and a number of one-dimensional variables are needed to measure it. These variables may refer to state institutions, political institutions, people, media, etc. The more variables used to determine the unit level of trust, the harder it is to identify a hidden variable that will replace several one-dimensional variables in further research. Trust is such a hidden variable. Of course, you can ask the question: do you generally trust?

Material and methods:
The presented article will analyze the problems of Poles' trust. Data comes from the seventh round of the 2014 Europeen Social Survey. 1616 people aged over 16 took part in it. The obtained results were subjected to analysis allowing to determine multidimensionality (factor analysis) and scale reliability (Cronbach's alpha).

Results:
Poles are extremely suspicious of public institutions. In the public sphere, the Poles do not trust either the institutions of the State or politicians or political parties.

Conclusions:
The presented article was intended to show how analyzing the existing data from the study, which we were neither authors nor members of the analytical team, using the factor analysis, analysis of reliability and analysis of variance find the answer to the question of who in the public sphere do Poles trust? Factor analysis has made it possible to simplify the structure of research data.
