Although trust plays a pivotal role in many aspects of life, very little is known about the manifestation of trust and distrust in everyday life. In this work, we integrated several prior approaches to trust and investigated the prevalence and key determinants of trust (vs. distrust) in people's natural environments, using preregistered experience-sampling methodology. Across more than 4,500 social interactions from a heterogeneous sample of 427 participants, results showed high average levels of trust, but also considerable variability in trust across contexts. This variability was attributable to aspects of trustee perception, social distance, as well as 3 key dimensions of situational interdependence: conflict of interests, information (un)certainty, and power imbalance. At the dispositional level, average everyday trust was shaped by general trust, moral identity, and zero-sum beliefs. The social scope of most trust-related traits, however, was moderated by social distance: Whereas moral identity buffered against distrusting distant targets, high general distrust and low social value orientation amplified trust differences between close vs. distant others. Furthermore, a laboratory-based trust game predicted everyday trust only with regard to more distant but not close interaction partners. Finally, everyday trust was linked to self-disclosure and to cooperation, particularly in situations of high conflict between interaction partners' interests. We conclude that trust can be conceptualized as a relational hub that interconnects the social perception of the trustee, the relational closeness between trustor and trustee, key structural features of situational interdependence, and behavioral response options such as self-disclosure.

相信日常生活。

尽管信任在生活的许多方面都起着举足轻重的作用，但人们对日常生活中信任和不信任的表现却知之甚少。在这项工作中，我们整合了几种先前的信任方法，并使用预先注册的经验抽样方法研究了人们自然环境中信任（与不信任）的普遍性和关键决定因素。在来自 427 名参与者的异质样本的 4,500 多次社交互动中，结果显示平均信任水平很高，但在不同情况下信任也存在相当大的差异。这种可变性归因于受托人感知、社会距离以及情境相互依赖的 3 个关键维度：利益冲突、信息（不）确定性和权力失衡。在性格层面，平均日常信任是由普遍信任、道德认同和零和信念塑造的。然而，大多数与信任相关的特征的社会范围受到社会距离的影响：道德认同缓冲了不信任远处的目标，高度普遍的不信任和低社会价值取向放大了亲密与遥远他人之间的信任差异。此外，基于实验室的信任博弈仅针对较远但不密切的互动伙伴预测日常信任。最后，日常信任与自我披露和合作有关，特别是在互动伙伴利益之间存在高度冲突的情况下。我们得出的结论是，信任可以被概念化为一个关系枢纽，它将受托人的社会认知、信任人和受托人之间的关系密切联系起来，情境相互依赖的关键结构特征，以及诸如自我披露等行为反应选项。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
