People posses an innate capability to instinctively evaluate the trustworthiness of other people in their daily lives, and a hardwired tendency to react strongly if they feel betrayed. However, these capabilities do not work in the digital domain, for both obvious and notso-obvious reasons. Therefore, something else is needed.

A necessary condition for trust propagation in social networks is that trust is transitive. However, is trust transitive? What types of trust are transitive and why? There are few theories and models found to answer these fundamental questions in a formal manner....

When does a person who has been trusted reciprocate that trust? Kiyonari, Yamagishi, Cook, and Cheshire (2006) compared behavior in trust games and faith games and showed that in one-shot games, players who were trusted did not reciprocate that trust. In an experiment using trust games and dictator games, we examined what type of trust would elicit reciprocation of that trust by the trustee. In...
