The book introduces an innovative theoretical look at trust as a mental algorithm that links our internalized memory of others to our social behavior. It further establishes trust as an integral part of social relationships and investigates why online communication might alter our trust in others and change our perception of relationships.
In today’s global and digitalized world, the investigation of relational trust as part of social connections has remained a popular and interdisciplinary academic topic. This book explores the idea of trust as a basic type of information processing that might be as old as human existence but has gained new attention with the emergence of online communication channels. The result is a strategic reconsideration of the brain’s role in the formation of social relationships and a new look at how information might shape our confidence in others.
