The digital curation and preservation community has long acknowledged that trustworthiness is a critical component of successful digital repositories. However, there is no known method to determine if or under what circumstances an end-user perceives a repository as trustworthy. While the research literature describes definitions, criteria, and certification processes that allow repository mana...

This study examined developmental changes in children's abilities to make trustworthiness judgments based on faces and the relationship between a child's perception of trustworthiness and facial attractiveness. One hundred and one 8-, 10-, and 12-year-olds, along with 37 undergraduates, were asked to judge the trustworthiness of 200 faces. Next, they issued facial attractiveness judgments. The ...

Using a dynamic stimuli paradigm, in which faces expressed either happiness or anger, the authors tested the hypothesis that perceptions of trustworthiness are related to these expressions. Although the same emotional intensity was added to both trustworthy and untrustworthy faces, trustworthy faces who expressed happiness were perceived as happier than untrustworthy faces, and untrustworthy fa...

Abstract We examine the role of trustworthiness and trust in statistical inference, arguing that it is extent inferential tools which enables conclusions. Certain tools, such as p-value significance test, have recently come under renewed criticism, with some they damage statistics. argue contrary, beginning from position central these methods to form basis for trusted conclusions face uncertain...

The trustworthiness of systems that support complex collaborative business processes is an emergent property. In order to address users’ trust concerns, trustworthiness requirements of software systems must be elicited and satisfied. The aim of this paper is to address the gap that exists between end-users’ trust concerns and the lack of implementation of proper trustworthiness requirements. Ne...

We combine two experiments and a survey to measure trust and trustworthiness—two key components of social capital. Standard attitudinal survey questions about trust predict trustworthy behavior in our experimentsmuch better than they predict trusting behavior. Trusting behavior in the experiments is predicted by past trusting behavior outside of the experiments. When individuals are closer soci...

What motivates people to trust and be trustworthy? Is trust solely “calculative,” based on the expectation of trustworthiness, and trustworthiness only reciprocity? Employing a withinsubject design, we ran investment and dictator game experiments in Russia, South Africa and the United States. Additionally, we measured risk preferences and expectations of trustworthiness. Expectations of trustwo...

Trust in the context of online auctions is an understudied research area with significant implications. In this paper, using longitudinal process view of trust and trustworthiness development, we empirically demonstrate that trustworthiness thresholds do exist in the context of online auctions. Further, our findings suggest that considering the context in which trustworthiness is assessed is im...

Through experimentation, we establish a causal relationship between structural assurance and both vendor trustworthiness (knowledge-based trust) and technology trustworthiness (institution-based trust). We expand the definitions of structural assurance and institution-based trust to include the element of security measures employed by the marketplace technology. Situational normality demonstrat...
