What is Trust?

A psychological state

comprising the intention to

accept vulnerability based

upon positive expectations of

the intentions or behavior of

another. (Rousseau, 1998)

The optimistic acceptance of

a vulnerable situation in which

the truster believes the

trustee will care for the

truster’s interests.(Hall, 2001)

Vulnerable = feeling of being unprotected, at risk,

uncertain, and/or in a weakened position.
