Doctors are the most trusted professionals in Europe and the United States while politicians command universal distrust, a survey published on Friday showed.
Teachers, police and the military are also widely admired for their integrity while top managers, journalists and lawyers were all rated "quite untrustworthy" in the poll by Germany's GfK market research firm.
Italians, Bulgarians and Czechs were found to be particularly unhappy with their politicians, according to the survey of more than 16,000 people in 18 countries, and lawyers were also less trusted in Italy than anywhere else.
The Swiss are most trusting of their political leaders, with 35 percent of respondents saying they were "quite trustworthy" or "very trustworthy".
Managers are mainly distrusted except in Denmark, Sweden and Romania, and journalists also command little trust outside Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Spain.
The clergy received mixed reviews. In Romania, Sweden and Germany -- where most people are either Protestant or Roman Catholic -- they scored well.
In France and Spain as well as Greece, where most people are Orthodox, the clergy was viewed with the most suspicion.
The army commands trust everywhere but the Netherlands, and the police do so everywhere but Bulgaria.
The GfK publishes its so-called trust index once a year. It surveyed participants between March and May this year.

上周五公布的一项调查显示，在欧洲和美国，医生是最受信任的人，而政客最不受信任。
据该项由德国GfK市场调查公司开展的民意调查，教师、警察和军人因诚实正直也得到了广泛的信任，而高层管理人员、新闻从业者和律师则被评价为“相当不值得信赖的人”。
该项对18个国家1万6千多人开展的调查表明，意大利人、保加利亚人和捷克人对本国的政客尤为不满；律师在意大利的信任度比在其它地区都要低。
瑞士人对于本国政治领袖最为信任，其中35%的受访者认为他们“相当值得信赖”或“十分值得信赖”。
除了在丹麦、瑞典和罗马尼亚外，管理人员的信任度普遍较低；新闻从业者在除波兰、罗马尼亚、保加利亚和西班牙外的国家和地区，得到的信任较少。
神职人员得到的评价不一。在以新教徒和天主教徒为主的罗马尼亚、瑞典和德国，神职人员得到的评价较高。
而在以东正教徒为主的法国、西班牙和希腊，神职人员的信任度则较低。
军人在荷兰以外的地方信任度都较高；警察在除了保加利亚以外的地方信任度较高。
GfK市场调查公司每年都会公布一次所谓的“信任度指数”。该调查于今年3月至5月之间进行。 |
