Trust Scale

The Rotter Interpersonal Trust Scale and a Self-disclosure Questionnaire developed by the junior author were administered to two samples of college students. In the first sample ( N = 54) self-disclosure to a specific target person was related to Interpersonal Trust; in the second sample ( N = 52) it was attempted to tap a more generalized concept of revealingness and to relate it to Interpersonal Trust. Failure to demonstrate the hypothesized relationships is discussed with reference to unsatisfactory conceptualization of the major concepts and their relation to one another, and possible weaknesses in the measurement procedures.

Trust Scale

The Paranormal Belief Scale, Interpersonal Trust Scale, and Social Interest Scale were administered to 60 college students. No significant correlations were obtained between interpersonal trust and paranormal beliefs. Social Interest, as hypothesized, showed a significant direct correlation with Traditional Religious Belief as well as significant inverse correlations with both Psi Belief and Spiritualism.

Trust Scale

An individual's concept of and ability to self-disclose is in part a product of trust. The primary concern was evaluating the relation of interpersonal trust and self-disclosure and to examine the influencing factors. 100 undergraduates were asked to complete three questionnaires, a demographic questionnaire, a self-disclosure questionnaire, and an interpersonal trust scale. A significant low correlation of .236 between trust and self-disclosure was found. There were significant effects of sex and race on trust and self-disclosure. Also, results supported the prediction that individuals low and high in trust disclose to different people. Research should address such issues as predicting trustworthy individuals and disclosure of critical information. Development of trust in the client-therapist relationship should also be examined.

Trust Scale

In order to explore the influencing factors of college students' love view, this study used love questionnaire, adult attachment scale and interpersonal trust scale to investigate 790 college students. It was found that the adult attachment is dependent love view and interpersonal trust. There is a linear correlation between them; for girls, interpersonal trust and love are also linearly related, but not for boys; for girls, interpersonal trust depends on the closeness dimension, anxiety dimension and love concept of adult attachment .There is an intermediary role between them; for boys, interpersonal trust does not have an intermediary role. In summary, there is a gender difference in the mediating effect of interpersonal trust, that is, gender has a moderating effect. The results of this study provide a certain theoretical support for better exploring the influencing factors and mechanisms of the concept of love from the perspective of growth factors.

Trust Scale

63 (37 male and 26 female) undergraduate students were Ss in a study of the relationship between two kinds of trust and self-disclosure. As predicted, self-disclosure (Jourard scale) was related to trust as measured with the Prisoners' Dilemma Game, but not to Interpersonal trust, as measured with Rotter's scale. No relationship was found between the Rotter Interpersonal Trust Scale and the Prisoner's Dilemma. In line with previous findings: (a) the Rotter Scale correlated with a self-report trust scale, and (b) the Prisoners' Dilemma with authoritarianism (F scale).

Trust Scale

Separate factor analyses of high school student (106 males and 108 females) and adult (295 males and 334 females) samples of respondents to Rotter's Interpersonal Trust Scale demonstrated cross-validation of the three Wright-Tedeschi factors derived from samples of college students. Clearest support was found for the factor, Trust of Strangers. Similarities and differences among various factor structures of the Interpersonal Trust Scale are discussed.

Self Perceptions

24 male and 24 female college students were paired randomly to form stranger dyads and were asked to prepare and exchange topic-guided self-descriptions. Self-descriptive protocols were scored for breadth and content of self-disclosures, and relationships were assessed between subjects' disclosure indices and their self-rated and partner-rated levels of physical attractiveness. As expected, the two attractiveness ratings were weakly though significantly related. The more attractive their self-perceptions, the more men disclosed and the more favorable their disclosures were apt to be. In contrast, the more attractive the women regarded themselves, the less self-information they revealed. Disclosure was positively associated with partner-rated attractiveness, particularly for the men. Results were discussed in the context of possible developmental consequences of physical attractiveness on intra- and interpersonal processes.

Backward Fall

Rotter's construct of interpersonal trust and its relationship to overt behavioral trust and to self-disclosure were examined. Without employing a deceptive or competitive task, a behavioral measure of trust was devised and defined as the speed with which S initiated and completed a backward fall into the hands of a readied assistant. While scores on Rotter's Interpersonal Trust Scale were uncorrelated with those on Jourard's Self-disclosure Scale, high trusters had shorter latencies on the behavioral task. These data represent evidence of the discriminant and convergent validity of the construct and measurement of interpersonal trust. High disclosers were more apt to volunteer for the behavioral task.
