I motivate and defend a new way of theorising about trust and trustworthiness – and their relationship to each other – by locating both within a broader picture that captures largely overlooked symmetries on both the trustor's and trustee's side of a cooperative exchange. The view defended here takes good cooperation as a theoretical starting point; on the view proposed, cooperation between trustor and trustee is working well when achievements in trust and in responding to trust are matched on both sides of the trust exchange. In a bit more detail, the trustor ‘matches’ her achievement in trusting (an achievement in fitting reliance to reciprocity) with the trustee's achievement in responding to trust (an achievement in fitting reciprocity to reliance). From this starting point, we can then appreciate symmetrical ways that the trustor and trustee can (respectively) fall short, by violating what are shown to be symmetrical evaluative norms – of success, competence and aptness – that regulate the attempts made by both trustor and trustee. The overall picture has important advantages over the received way of theorising about how trust stands to trustworthiness, and it clears the way – by identifying key questions that have been obscured – to making further progress.

信任与值得信赖

我激励并捍卫了一种关于信任和可信度及其相互关系的新理论方法，将两者置于更广阔的视野中，捕捉合作交换中委托人和受托人双方很大程度上被忽视的对称性。这里所捍卫的观点以良好的合作为理论起点；根据提出的观点，当信任交换双方在信任和回应信任方面取得的成就相匹配时，委托人和受托人之间的合作就进展顺利。更详细地说，委托人将她的信任成就（使依赖与互惠相适应的成就）与受托人响应信任的成就（使互惠与依赖相适应的成就）“匹配”。从这个出发点，我们可以认识到委托人和受托人可能（分别）达不到要求的对称方式，因为它们违反了对称的评价规范——成功、能力和适应性——这些规范规范了委托人和受托人所做的尝试。受托人。总体情况比现有的有关信任如何代表可信度的理论方法具有重要优势，并且它通过识别一直被掩盖的关键问题，为取得进一步进展扫清了道路。
