Trust is an essential component of good healthcare. If patients trust their physicians, then the relationship between them can be a richer and more meaningful one. The patient is more likely to feel confident and able to disclose symptoms, helping diagnosis and future care. If public health and community workers are trusted, not only is it likely that their work will be easier, in that their ac...

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...

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...

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...

Most past work on trustworthiness perception has focused on the structural features of the human face. The present study investigates the interplay of dynamic information from two channels – the face and the voice. By systematically varying the level of trustworthiness in each channel, 49 participants were presented with either facial or vocal information, or the combination of both, and made e...

In the heterogeneous network, trustworthiness of the entity can help other entities to decide whether or not to have a transaction with it. The feedback data used to evaluate trustworthiness always comes from different entities in different system and is expressed in all kinds of forms. This may be easy for entity to express their trustworthiness, but it will increase difficulties of evaluation...

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 traditional trustworthiness evaluation of running software is inaccurate and incomplete because each component is as an independent unit during reliability evaluation. According to the drawbacks of traditional models, this paper proposed a trustworthiness evaluation approach of component-based software based on level. The trustworthy behavior trace diagram of componentbased software was pre...
