Abstract

Levels of trust in a social relationship can fluctuate over time. However, few studies have directly examined the different trust decisions involved as the relationship progresses and delineated the various trust patterns that arise from these decisions. Our analysis examined the key processes in trust decisions during the phases of trust formation, dissolution, and restoration. These trust decisions across phases give rise to trust profiles. In this chapter, we discuss six unique trust profiles: High Trust, High Distrust, Tit-for-Tat, Seizing and Freezing, Assessment, and Grim Trigger, based on divergent trust patterns across trust phases. We focus on how individual and social contextual factors affect these patterns of trust. Our model highlights the need to consider multiple trust phases both theoretically and empirically to offer a more holistic understanding of how trust unfolds overtime in social relationships.

Notes

  1. 1.

    There are two additional possible trust profiles: (1) slow formation, fast dissolution, and fast restoration and (2) slow formation, slow dissolution, fast restoration. However, because not all trust profiles occur with equal frequency, we focused on the six commonly occurred trust profiles in this chapter.
