	T3 Group - Trust across Disciplines - Risk in trust, regarding sociology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In his classic model of trust, Coleman argues that the decision of an actor to trust or not is a function of the expected gain and loss involved.
		It is the lack of this awareness that is the expression of trust, which may be regarded as a state where we do not have particular expectations, where the situation is undefined.
		Our socio-cognitive approach is close to the sociological view of the relationship between risk and trust and is critic to the (rather semplicistic, in our opinion) economic theory: read Castelfranchi and Falsone's paper about the implications of risky decision and the contribution of cognitive theory on the topic.

		Research on trust and civic engagement shows that trust is an important predictor (pre-condition) of belonging to voluntary organizations (Stolle 2001) and participating in those organizations by volunteering time and talent (see Urslaner 2002).
		While a number of social contexts related to trust have been explored, such as education, income, nation of residence, and family socialization patterns (see Nee and Sanders 2001; Stolle 2001), what is of particular interest to us is the role that religion, and all of the social phenomena (e.g.

	T3 Group - Trust across Disciplines - Expectations in trust, regarding sociology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		When we say we trust someone or that someone is trustworthy, we implicitly mean that the probability that he will perform an action that is beneficial or at least not detrimental to us is high enough for us to consider engaging in some form of cooperation with him.
		Trust is better seen as a threshold point, located on a probabilistic distribution of more general expectations, which can take a number of values suspended between complete distrust (0) and complete trust (1), and which is centred around a mid-point (0.50) of uncertainty.
		For example, Barber characterized trust as a set of "socially learned and socially confirmed expectations that people have of each other, of the organizations and institutions in which they live, and of the natural and moral social orders that set the fundamental understandings for their lives".

	Elements of Trust: The Cultural Dimension of Internet Diffusion Revisited¹ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Trust is a complex construct with multiple dimensions, and their relative effects on innovative actions may be highly dependent on their respective social context.
		Trust as a cultural resource raises the overall innovative capacity of a social system, since it allows economic and also political agents to take advantage of their extended potential for action.
		Because rational trust is grounded in agents’ experiences and does not need to be intrinsically motivated, it is safe to suggest that with regard to the object of trust, rational trust in modernity is fundamentally related to and secured by systems (Luhmann [1968] 1989; Giddens 1991).

	The transformation of trust? Exploring the utility of 'trust' as a social scientific concept
		Similarly, sociological and other social-scientific discussions of trust are characterised by imprecision and ambiguity, which, although tolerable in everyday conversation, is unacceptable if `trust' is to be employed as a concept with some theoretical utility.
		Trust is worthy of the attention of health/medical sociologists, not only because doctors appear to be concerned about it, but because trust relates to such topical and widely debated sociological issues as consumerism (and hence to debates on post-modernity) and knowledge/ communication in the context of the doctor-patient relationship.
		With respect to the transformation of trust, it addresses debates concerning the changing nature of trust and links these to debates about `the rise of consumerism' in health care and the nature of `lay' and `medical' knowledge.
