A mixed-methods approach was used to assess the role of trustworthiness in crosscultural business partnerships. In Study One, qualitative responses from 100 undergraduate students (50 Canadian, 50 Taiwanese) were analyzed to identify cultural similarities and differences in their perceptions of a trustworthy person, employee, and supervisor/employer. Respondents from both countries used descrip...

Existing research suggests that adults make effective trustworthiness judgments based on facial attractiveness during initial interactions. However, little is known about how children judge trustworthiness from faces. The present study examined the facial features that contributed to judgments of trustworthiness and attractiveness by three groups of Chinese children aged 8 years old (n=34; 17 b...

In an ideal word, totally trustworthy software would provide an absolute guarantee that it will perform its required functions under all possible circumstances, will do so on time, and will never perform any actions that have hazardous consequences. In the real world, this hardly ever happens, since different software products have different degrees of trustworthiness. In this paper, we show ho...

With the increasing demands on software functions, the software systems are becoming larger and more difficult to be managed. The damages caused by system failures are more serious, so the software trustworthiness has become a focus that the international experts and scholars pay close attention to. In the paper, the intension of software trustworthiness has been discussed, and an evaluation me...

Existing research on trust in the Semantic Web extensively studies trustworthiness and trust in the context of active entities such as persons and agents. However, few work exist that focus on the content in the Semantic Web and that study trustworthiness as an information quality criterion. Hence, computer systems that use the trustworthiness of Semantic Web data for filtering or decision maki...

We present a method for trust scenarios with more than one trustee, where sets of trustees are ordered in a relation of relative trustworthiness. We show how a priority structure implicit in a trust relation can be made fully explicit by means of a lattice and how a system of default expectations arises from a systematic interpretation. The default structure lends itself to formal interpretatio...

We developed a novel computational framework to predict the perceived trustworthiness of host profile texts in the context of online lodging marketplaces. To achieve this goal, we developed a dataset of 4,180 Airbnb host profiles annotated with perceived trustworthiness. To the best of our knowledge, the dataset along with our models allow for the first computational evaluation of perceived tru...
