How do norms of trust and reciprocity arise? We investigate this question by examining behavior in an experiment where subjects play a series of indefinitely repeated trust games. Players are randomly and anonymously matched each period. The parameters of the game are chosen so as to support trust and reciprocity as a sequential equilibrium when no reputational information is available. The mai...

In this paper we develop a notion of “objective trust” for Software Agents, that is trust of, or between, Agents based on actual experiences between those Agents. Experiential objective trust allows Agents to make decisions about how to select other Agents when a choice has to be made. We define a mechanism for such an “objective Trust-Based Agent” (oTB-Agent), and present experimental results ...

While an increasing number of trust studies examine technological artifacts as trust recipients, there is still a lack of basic understanding of how technology trust relates to traditional trust and its role within the broader nomological net articulated in trust research. This paper suggests that technology trust is distinct from interpersonal trust (i.e., trust in humans) due to the different...

traditionally, trust has been seen as a result of personal knowledge of an individual’s past behavior. In this view, trust develops gradually over time based on an individual’s cognitive assessment of the other person’s behavior. However, high levels 242 RObERt, DENNIS, AND HuNg of trust have been observed among members of virtual teams, who often have little prior history of working together a...

Consumer trust is one of the key obstacles to online vendors seeking to extend their consumers across cultures. This research identifies culture at the individual consumer level. Based on the Stimulus– Organism–Response (S–O–R) model, this study focuses on the moderating role of uncertainty avoidance culture value on privacy and security as cognition influences, joy and fear as emotional influe...

BACKGROUND Lack of trust in parental support is a transdiagnostic risk factor for the development of psychological problems throughout the lifespan. Research suggests that children's cognitive attachment representations and related information processing biases could be an important target for interventions aiming to build trust in the parent-child relationship. A paradigm that can alter these ...

This paper describes an empirical study to capture the influence of owner-manager general trust (GT) on organizational structure and performance in SMEs. Hypotheses are tested with data from a sample of 103 Irish manufacturing SMEs. The results indicate that owner-manager GT has a positive influence on performance in hightech SMEs but a negative effect in low-tech SMEs. The hypotheses on the re...
