This research focuses on the linkage between discrimination and trust. This linkage is especially important when considering the important role that trust plays in the success of initial encounters between strangers. In many social settings trust and reciprocity can improve the well-being of both parties. Quite often brief, face-to-face interactions are the primary basis by which individuals initiate and build social networks in economic and political arenas. If particular ethnic groups are not trusted in these brief interactions (through discrimination), then individuals from those ethnic groups lose the opportunity to prove themselves trustworthy. Consequently those individuals lose access to many financial opportunities that stem from repeated interactions that are fueled by trusting relationships.Laboratory experiments are used by which strangers make decisions with one another. The decisions involve financial stakes in which one person can trust another, and in return, a counterpart can choose to be trustworthy. The experiments manipulate three major variables: the ethnicity of the partners; the framework in which the decision is cast; and the institutional guarantees underlying the trust game. The experimental are novel in that they are conducted via the internet, in real time, between multiple laboratories. The experiments suggest policy interventions that can encourage initial trusting behavior through minimizing discrimination.

这项研究重点是歧视与信任之间的联系。 在考虑信任在陌生人之间最初相遇的成功中所扮演的重要作用时，这种联系尤其重要。 在许多社交环境中，信任和互惠可以改善双方的福祉。 通常，简短的面对面互动是个人在经济和政治领域建立社交网络的主要基础。 如果在这些简短的互动（通过歧视）中不信任特定的族裔，那么这些族裔的个人就会失去证明自己值得信赖的机会。因此，这些人失去了获得许多经济机会，这些机会源于信任关系所推动的反复互动。实验室实验被陌生人彼此做出决定。 这些决定涉及财务利益，其中一个人可以信任另一个人，作为回报，同行可以选择值得信赖。 实验操纵了三个主要变量：伴侣的种族；决定决定的框架；机构保证了信任游戏的基础。 实验是新颖的，因为它们是通过互联网实时在多个实验室之间进行的。 实验表明政策干预措施可以通过最大程度地歧视歧视来鼓励最初的信任行为。
