چکیده

Ridesharing can save energy, reduce pollution, and alleviate congestion. Ridesharing systems allow peer-to-peer ride matching through mobile-phone applications. In many systems people have liŠle information about the driver and co-riders. Trust heavily inƒuences the usage of a ridesharing system, however, work in this area is limited. In this paper, we investigate the role of social media in shaping trust and delineate factors that inƒuence the decisions of trust placed on a driver or co-rider. We design a ridesharing system where a rider can see the Instagram pro€le and 10 recent pictures of a co-rider and ask them to make judgments on six trust related questions. We discovered three important factors that shape trust forming: social proof, social approval, and self-disclosure. Œese three factors account for 40%, 33%, and 13% of the variance, and subsequent factors extracted accounted for substantially less variance. Using these three factors, we successfully build a trust prediction model with F-measure of 87.4%, an improvement from 78.6% on using all factors collected.
