Interpersonal trust

currency units sent

Willingness to transfer resources to a stranger who can keep them. The trust-game object, not a vibe.

In the investment/trust game the first mover sends money that is multiplied; the second mover can return some or none. Transfers are the usual behavioral measure of trust. They are not the same as self-reported agreeableness, oxytocin plasma, or 'psychological safety' at work.

Also called trust-game transfer, investor transfer.
