SES-1303577PI: Edgar KiserCo-PI: Blaine RobbinsUniversity of WashingtonTrust is central to the development and growth of social and economic exchange. The goals of this dissertation project are to identify factors that promote trust, to understand the situational features that enable trust formation, and to pinpoint the dispositional sources of trust. Given the widespread interest in trust across the social sciences, this project will test theoretical propositions found in sociology, political science, economics, social psychology, and philosophy. To accomplish this, the investigators will administer a web-based survey consisting of two hypothetical scenarios - a "car repair" scenario and "group project" scenario - to a large subject pool of online participants. This will be used to measure characteristics of trust and trustworthiness experienced by the participants. With this integrative approach, the investigators hope to construct a more comprehensive framework for the study of trust that resolves interdisciplinary debates about its conceptualization and operationalization. Broader Impacts:With globalization and cosmopolitanism continuing to increase, understanding the sources of trust is an enduring issue for social scientists. If successful, results might inform policymakers of the socio-demographic factors that promote not only trust, but also social relationships, economic transactions, and civil society among diverse populations. Furthermore, examining how trust forms under market and non-market conditions has applied implications for both economic growth and business administration. This research also has a significant education component, leading to the training of a graduate student who will eventually mentor and teach future students multifactorial vignette designs. Finally, the research involves modifications to a widely used open-source software program for web-based surveys, modifications that will be made freely available to interested researchers.

SES-1303577PI：Edgar Kiserco-PI：华盛顿特征的Blaine Robbinsuniversity对社会和经济交流的发展和发展至关重要。 该论文项目的目标是确定促进信任的因素，了解能够形成信任的情境特征，并确定信任的处置来源。鉴于对整个社会科学的信任的普遍兴趣，该项目将测试社会学，政治学，经济学，社会心理学和哲学中发现的理论主张。为此，调查人员将管理一个基于网络的调查，该调查包括两个假设场景 - 一个“汽车维修”场景和“小组项目”方案 - 向大量的在线参与者库。这将用于衡量参与者所经历的信任和信任的特征。通过这种综合方法，研究人员希望为研究的信任研究建立一个更全面的框架，以解决有关其概念化和操作的跨学科辩论。 更广泛的影响：随着全球化和世界主义的继续增加，了解信任的来源对社会科学家来说是一个持久的问题。如果成功的话，结果可能会为决策者提供社会人口统计学因素，这些因素不仅促进了信任，而且还促进了社会关系，经济交易和各种人口中的民间社会。此外，研究在市场和非市场条件下的信任形成如何对经济增长和企业管理产生影响。这项研究还具有重要的教育部分，导致培训研究生，该研究生最终将指导和教导未来的学生多因素小插图设计。最后，该研究涉及对广泛使用的基于Web的调查的开源软件程序进行修改，这将为感兴趣的研究人员免费提供。
