| Tiivistelmä: | A theory of trust proposed by Yamagishi and Yamagishi provides the basis for the prediction that (1) social uncertainty promotes commitment formation between particular partners and (2) high trusters tend to form committed relations less frequently than would low trusters when facing social uncertainty. These predictions receive support in two experiments conducted in the United States and Japan. The findings provide empirical support fro the theory of trust that emphasizes the role of general trust in emancipating people from the confines of safe, but close relationships. |
