1) What is meant by the following statements?
Trust is not associative (non-symmetric):
I think this means that you can't associate trust with a person or company without actually knowing them. You shouldn't just base it on what other have said. You need to workout yourself whether someone is trust worthy or not.
Trust is not transitive:
I think this means that you can hand your trust over to someone else which means that you might trust someone, but you can't make another person trust them until they've realised for themselves that they can trust them.
Trust is always between exactly 2 parties:
I think this means that you can't have one way trust where you trust a person but they don't trust you back. In a relationship, trust must go both ways for it to be successful.
Trust will involve either direct trust or recommender trust:
Direct trust is where you trust a person because they haven't let you down. Recommender Trust is where you trust a person because someone else has told you that they are trust worthy.
2a) Have a look at the following websites. What are some of the elements that have been incorporated to increase your trust in the sites? If there are also some aspects which decrease your level of trust describe them as
well.
You have to have a log in and an account to purchase things.
You need to have an account plus a password to access things. It looks very organised which makes you think it's a trust worthy site.
It seems to be up to date which shows the website it being properly looked after which gives you the impression that its trustworthy.
You need a log in which means that if you don't tell anyone else your login, then no-one else should known it unless the actual company uses your details. However this doesn't seem likely because of how popular the site is.
2b) Find a web site yourself that you think looks untrustworthy.
I think this site looks untrustworthy. http://www.kanoodle.com
