ABSTRACT
Trust develops when a person must rely on the promises of another person without being able to verify the message. Trust implies uncertainty and, as a consequence, might be the definition of trust proposed by Deutsch (1958).
An individual may be said to have trust in the occurrence of an event if he expects its occurrence and his expectation leads to behavior which he perceives to have greater negative motivational consequences if the expectation is not confirmed than positive motivational consequences if it is confirmed.
