Trustworthiness is a function of inherent characteristics and the social context.
If both you and the other person knows there are actual severe and tangible repercussions for breaking each other's trust in the given context the trust between you will be much higher compared to in a setting where any of you is actually purely gaining from breaking trust.
While certain individuals certainly are inherently more trustworthy than others, it's not a pure inherent function and that is why we need to create high-trust societies, in order to dampen the effect of the low-trusworthy people in it.
