Background: Marital trust as a fiduciary relationship is very important for ensuring the continuity of married life, and identifying its factors are critical. Female nurses are prone to marital problems due to involvement in stressful jobs with different work shifts and long working hours. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of covert aggression in relationshi...

Distributed trust management supports the provision of the required levels in a flexible and scalable manner by locally discriminating between the entities with which a principal should interact. However, there is a tension between the preservation of privacy and the controlled release of information when an entity submits credentials for establishing and verifying trust metric where it may dis...

Some scholars known as offensive realists claim that in the uncertainty of world politics, trust and cooperation between states is extremely unlikely. Others, such as defensive realists, claim that rational states are capable of finding ways to counteract the complications created by misperceptions and distrust, and to reduce uncertainty to levels where it no longer inhibits cooperation. In thi...

Trust has been a long-standing issue in online communities and is gaining importance with the popularity of online social networks. Traditional trust models theorize and explain trust, but they do not directly provide operationalization of trust relationships. In view that the text is the dominant medium of online communication, this paper develops a text-based model for identifying online trus...

Increasingly, P2P networks are being used to facilitate adhoc collaborations, which often involve members who have never met. Due to the distributed nature of P2P, managing trust is a challenge. Prior research has focused on solutions that rely upon the feedback from other peers to assign reputation and trust. We offer a trust model where trust management is totally distributed, with each node ...

Trust transfer is a common technique employed in trust management systems to establish relationships between parties that are strangers. It is also well known that trust is not always transferable. That is, given an existing trust relationship, it may or may not be possible to derive new trust from it. In particular, it is not known under which constraints trust is transferable. In this paper w...

The Dynamic Trust-based Resources (DyTR) system applies a dynamic notion of trust to ad hoc network resources. DyTR continuously assesses the trustworthiness of entities over time based on system events and controls network resources according to current levels of trust. For dynamic trust assessment, DyTR utilizes a socio-cognitive model of trust, a formal model of the essential concepts and ch...

Trust is very essential to secure and high quality interactions on the Semantic Web. In this paper, we introduce a trust model, which incorporates pairwise trust ratings and reliable factors of acquaintances and constructs an edge-weighted graph to calculate trust values. We interpret trust in two dimensions to better deal with it. We apply the theory in social network field to calculate trust ...

In cloud computing environment, the trust relationship between resources is hard to define. By analyzing the layered framework for cloud service, we find a regulation for building the trust within the two strange entities. Along with this regulation, we propose a 3-layer trust framework for evaluating trust relationship in cloud computing. Combined with trust computing and automated negotiation...

Trust mechanism always has two popular architectures: centralized fashion and distributed fashion. However, those two architectures are not well suited for multi-agent system since they cannot achieve the trust management autonomy. To achieve the trust management autonomy, the paper presents an autonomous trust construction model based on graph theory methodology. The presented model adopts the...
