What makes us trust people? How is trust developed and maintained? Is
Western society facing a crisis of trust?
The Psychology of Trust addresses trust issues that are directly
relevant to peoples' experiences in their daily lives. It identifies the
factors that cause people to trust, and the consequences of trust for
real world issues in health, politics, terrorism, the workplace, and
religious faith. It also explores the impact of a lack of trust, and
what causes distrust of individuals, groups and organisations.
In a world where trust impacts our daily lives, The Psychology of
Trust shows the role trust plays in our relationships, and provides
practical guidance regarding our own trust in others.
