| | Trust |
 | | The purpose of this article is to: (1) define trust, (2) present various trust situations, (3) present the circumstances of trust, and (4) explore practical implications of the trust construct for invitational theory. |
 | | To test the validity of the distinction of trust factors between central sources (reliability, genuineness, truthfulness, intent, and competence) and ancillary sources (attractiveness, composure, dynamism, and sociability) this author constructed an instrument and in a pilot study administered it to a group of graduate students. |
 | | Finally, trust and all that it embodies must become a source of inspiration for people to be concerned beyond an aesthetic response to paradigms such as the one proposed by invitational theory. |
