‘As any field of academic study matures, researchers refine methods for investigating the phenomenon of interest. For research on trust, this Handbook Second Edition reflects where the trust literature has been, where it is now, and where it is going with respect to research methods. If you are a mature trust scholar, or someone starting research on trust, the Handbook is an indispensable resource for evaluating the full range of methods that may be appropriate for your study.’
