The analytical approach studies trust as the result of individual decisions by interdependent actors. This chapter develops hypotheses on how social conditions (embeddedness) affect trust relations and offers an overview of empirical research on such hypotheses with a focus on the advantages of a multi-method approach employing complementary research designs (vignette studies, laboratory experiments, surveys) for repeatedly testing the same set of hypotheses.

Abstract

The analytical approach studies trust as the result of individual decisions by interdependent actors. This chapter develops hypotheses on how social conditions (embeddedness) affect trust relations and offers an overview of empirical research on such hypotheses with a focus on the advantages of a multi-method approach employing complementary research designs (vignette studies, laboratory experiments, surveys) for repeatedly testing the same set of hypotheses.
