The experience of trust in everyday life

Weiss, Alexa, Burgmer, Pascal, Hofmann, Wilhelm (2022) The experience of trust in everyday life. Current Opinion in Psychology, 44 . pp. 245-251. ISSN 2352-250X. (doi:10.1016/j.copsyc.2021.09.016) (KAR id:90518)

Abstract

In this contribution, we review current research on daily-life experiences of trust in diverse and naturally occurring social interactions ranging from close relationships to complete strangers. Experience-sampling methodology allows the joint examination of situational, relational, dispositional, motivational and behavioral variables in their relation to trust. Thereby, these recent studies advance our understanding of how trust is shaped by important features of the social situation such as perceived conflict of interest. They elucidate how trust fluctuates according to stable traits, and how these traits interact with situational variables (e.g., social closeness to the target). Furthermore, trust connects social perceptions of trustees with trustors’ prosocial tendencies.
