....reflection, both levels of previously mentioned trust can be established. There are as many proposed models of trust as there are people attempting to model it within the computer science discipline [16, 4, 1] This is due in part to the fact that trust is both a social and personal phenomena [19]. Trust has the characteristics of being both objective and subjective. Most organizational scientists define trust as the willingness of a party to be vulnerable to the actions of another party based on the expectation that the other party will perform a particular action important to the ....

.... of transactions between two or more individuals, an individual and an institution or an authority, or between two institutions, to put it in a simple way [12] Trust can be also viewed as a historically emergent property of human interaction that is tied to a specific form of social organization [13]. Modern forms of trust are, then, rooted in the rights, obligations, and liberties of citizenship [14] No matter how we define trust, it is clear that we are talking of a complex phenomenon that has up to date not been analysed properly in philosophical, sociological or technical sense of the ....

....of the conducted study. 2. TRUST 2.1 The Definition of Trust Trust is a complex phenomenon that has up to date not been analysed properly either in philosophical, sociological or technical sense of the word. Trust has sometimes been defined as something that begins where prediction ends [3] and is often considered to be little more than an individual psychological state that has more to do with a specific individual and her psychological and sociological make up than with some real life state of affairs [4] A sociological study of trust would concentrate more on the distinction ....

....have suggested that such predicability can not entirely build trust, and have proposed a further moral or ethical dimension of trust that accompanies the predictive component. Bidault and Jarillo (1996) propose two dimensions referred to as ethical and technical to constitute trust. Lewis and Weigart (1985) suggest a cognitive component which is based upon the predictive nature of the behaviour, but they also introduce an affective component which is based more on feeling . 5.0 Hypothesis Development The following section outlines the hypotheses developed for testing in this research. 5.1 ....

.... would result in defections initially, a trusting agent could be educated into taking the risk of trusting (actually by increasing its trust value to a level at which, and above which, cooperation would ensue) The taking of a risk is an essential part of attempting to build a trusting relationship (Lewis Weigert, 1985), and it is useful to see how much of a risk has to be taken to prompt such trusting. There are, naturally, different answers to this, depending on which agent we are trying to educate. This experiment was static. There were two tests, initially set up artificially to create the kind of situation ....

....0:44, Coop Thresh A (B; a) 1:01. It seems clear that A will eventually cooperate, but at some considerable cost to B after 112 iterations, A s fitness 3 was a large 555, with B s still 0. Clearly not a good situation for B. Sometimes, risks have to be taken to develop trust (Govier, 1992; Lewis Weigert, 1985), but B seems to be overstepping the bounds of rationality. There are reasons for this. Firstly, the amount of trust A started with was extremely low, and thus it had to take a lot of persuasion to be encouraged to trust. In addition, since A had a potentially unbounded memory span, the very low ....
