ABSTRACT Theory on trust development, dissolution, and restoration suggest that trust is a dynamic state that varies in predictable and often systematic ways. Empirical research, however, lags behind the theoretical development, particularly with respect to understanding the trajectory of trust. This article reviews theory on dynamics of trust and some of the limitations in empirical research on these theories. We then describe an established but underutilised longitudinal analytic method that promises to foster significant theoretical refinements. We provide an illustrative example and discuss implications for future research.

将时间概念化为分析级别：信任动态分析的新方向

摘要关于信任发展，解体和恢复的理论表明，信任是一种动态状态，以可预测的方式且通常是系统的方式变化。然而，实证研究落后于理论发展，特别是在理解信任轨迹方面。本文回顾了信任动力学理论以及这些理论的实证研究的局限性。然后，我们描述了一种已建立但未得到充分利用的纵向分析方法，该方法有望促进重大的理论改进。我们提供了一个说明性示例，并讨论了对未来研究的意义。
