TLDR
In this paper, three existing models of interpersonal trust are tested: (1) attitudinal, (2) situational, and (3) combined, and the ANO VA findings confirmed the existence of both attitudinal and situational factors present in interpersonal trust scores.
Abstract
Three existing models of interpersonal trust are tested: (1) attitudinal, (2) situational, and (3) combined Forty-four subjects were divided into five test groups and a control group Interpersonal trust scores collected before and after a trust-building t group were analyzed by two-way ANO VA and F ratio There was a significant increase in trust, measured by t test, in all test groups (p < 05), but no significant change in the control group The ANO VA findings confirmed the existence of both attitudinal and situationalfactors present in interpersonal trust scores (p < 001) in all test groups The F ratio demonstrated the situationalfactor as more important in explaining variations in interpersonal trust scores both before and after training (p < 01) Implications of these findings are discussed for traditional attitude theory and more recent contingency (situational) theory

TL;DR: The concept of trust and its related concepts are vital to the understanding both of social life and of personality development as mentioned in this paper, and yet an examination of a half-dozen or more of the leading textbooks in social psychology (e.g., texts by Cartwright and Zander, Homans, Krech and Crutchfield, Lewin, Lindsey, Newcomb) reveals that trust does not appear in any of their indexes.
