A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'As any field of academic study matures, researchers refine methods for investigating the phenomenon of interest. For research on trust, this Handbook Second Edition reflects where the trust literature has been, where it is now, and where it is going with respect to research methods. If you are a mature trust scholar, or someone starting research on trust, the Handbook is an indispensable resource for evaluating the full range of methods that may be appropriate for your study.' --- Steven C. Currall, University of California, Davis, US

Acclaim for the first edition:'A tour-de-force of trust research methodologies, from survey methods to critical incidents to hermeneutics... will prove invaluable to trust researchers of every stripe.' --- Aks Zaheer, University of Minnesota, US

'This book fills an important gap. The burgeoning field of trust research has employed a wide variety of definitions and methods, but until the appearance of this Handbook there was no comprehensive overview of them. Its contributions, many written by leading international experts, cover conceptual issues as well as qualitative and quantitative methods. The editors are all working at the frontiers of trust research and in this Handbook they have compiled an indispensable source of reference for years to come.' --- John Child, University of Birmingham, UK
