A <i>tour-de-force</i> of trust research methodologies, from surveys methods to critical incidents to hermeneutics. . .will prove invaluable to trust researchers of every stripe. <br />- Aks Zaheer, University of Minnesota, US <p>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 <i>Handbook</i> 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 <i>Handbook</i> they have compiled an indispensable source of reference for years to come. <br />- John Child, University of Birmingham, UK </p><p>This is the right book at the right time. Central to the advancement of research on trust is the need to address a host of methodological, empirical, and analytical challenges. This <i>Handbook</i> provides a vital resource for doing so and holds the promise of infusing the literature with novel and enhanced approaches for studying and understanding trust. Researchers new to the field as well as established experts will find a wealth of insights contained herein. <br /> - --Bill McEvily, University of Toronto, Canada</p>
