We report two studies, the first showing the psychometric properties of a new trust inventor...

OBJECTIVE Dysregulation of autonomic nervous system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function is a putative intermediate phenotype linking childhood adversity (CA) with later psychopathology. However, associations of CAs with autonomic nervous system and HPA-axis function vary widely across studies. Here, we test a novel conceptual model discriminating between distinct forms of CA ...

Trust lies at the heart of person perception and interpersonal decision making. In two studies, we investigated physical temperature as one factor that can influence human trust behavior, and the insula as a possible neural substrate. Participants briefly touched either a cold or warm pack, and then played an economic trust game. Those primed with cold invested less with an anonymous partner, r...

this study adopted a survey research strategy to examine the impact of servant leadership and its dimensions on team effectiveness and trust in teams. the servant leadership, a new model of leadership, in recent years has been an area of interest to researchers and administrative staff. furthermore, institutions of higher education in the third millennium, need to maintain and increase the reli...

In this paper we investigate the numerical performance of trust-region algorithms in which the trust-region radius is updated by a nonlinear rule according with the quality of the models. This class of algorithms fits into the Nonlinear Stepsize Control framework recently proposed by Toint (Optimization Methods and Software 28: 82–95, 2013). The nonlinear control of the trust-region radius is c...

This paper presents a longitudinal study of individual trust development in virtual collaboration in China. We review the concept of trust, trust factors, and examine the development of individual trust and explore why individual trust changes over time. Risk, benefit, and interest are main trust factors that influence the development of individual trust. Survey data were collected at three poi...

Several cross-country studies have observed a negative correlation between inequality and interpersonal trust. Using data from 59 countries, I instrument for inequality using the relative size of the mature-aged cohort, and find that a rise in inequality reduces trust. JEL Classification: D3, D7

In this paper, we apply principles of trust derived mostly from interpersonal communication and human-computer interaction research to computer-mediated exchange (CME). We define key terms and synthesize relevant literature identifying four sources and seven dimensions of trust. Combining these sources and dimensions, we offer a trust taxonomy enabling trust analysis of exchange partners in CME...

In this chapter, trust is treated as a form of tacit knowledge that can be made explicit to some extent by means of knowledge management techniques such as codification and pattern matching. The authors explore the issue of representing interpersonal trust by means of a case study. This describes the development of an online platform to support partnership among small firms where remoteness, an...
