The trust literature is at a mature stage of development, which can largely be attributed to the presence of clear conceptual models (e.g., Mayer, Davis, & Schoorman, 1995) that have received strong empirical support (Colquitt, Scott, & LePine, 2007). Although a strong conceptual consensus brings many benefits, an unintentional side effect is that scholars can become hesitant to look outside that paradigm. In recent years, trust scholars have increasingly observed that current models are silent on many critical trust dynamics at work and in society more generally (Baer & Colquitt, 2018; Dirks & de Jong, 2022; van der Werff, Legood, Buckley, Weibel, & de Cremer, 2019). Given these trends, a clear understanding of the causes and consequences of trust is more important than ever – not solely for academics, but also for practitioners and society as a whole (Dirks & de Jong, 2022). This symposium will highlight research on individual differences in trustors that affect their perceptions of trustworthiness, the potential benefits of distrust, the mechanisms of trust velocity for new hires, and the effects of gender on trust and trustworthiness. The purpose of our symposium is to extend established trust theory with new perspectives that use a variety of methodologies, hopefully inspiring scholars to take trust research into new directions.
