Social trust

Social trust

In technological and risk contexts, this refers to the level of trust individuals have towards organisations and authorities managing technological projects. It is increasingly regarded as a significant element in social reactions to technological developments. Trust can be created in careful, sophisticated decision-making processes that take time, but it can be destroyed in an instant.
