Aleksander Zadel, PhD, and Melita Joželj Nose: Trust and evolution – can I survive without trust?

There are three types of trust. One is the basic trust we are born with. It is clear that some of us are more trusting, others less so. The second is trust which is formed on the basis of experience with oneself and others. The third type of trust is developed when we trust someone because they are trusted by someone we trust. This is, in addition to the first two types of trust which are direct, an indirect type of trust. It is therefore not unusual for those who see themselves as people who do not trust anyone to still get into a car made by many people they do not even know and eat food prepared by strangers. The best way to see how society is connected is through the phenomenon of mutual trust.
