The Handbook of Trust and Social Psychology highlights the crucial importance of trust in a wide variety of contexts such as individual wellbeing, societal stability and personal and professional relationships. This Handbook importantly acknowledges the profound impact of Ken J. Rotenberg''s work on developmental and social psychology.

Reflecting the growing interest in and literature surrounding trust, the Handbook provides a comprehensive review of the established lines and sub-disciplines of trust research in social development and psychology. Bringing together an array of esteemed experts, it explores developmental theories, interpersonal trust dynamics, societal implications, and conditions impairing trust, offering insights and future directions for understanding and fostering trust in diverse contexts. Moreover, the authors of the chapters also uncover the nature of trust in romantic relationships, lies, scams and misinformation, as well as trust and testimony in court, before identifying key themes that require further study, such as trust within the context of various mental health conditions.

This Handbook is an invaluable resource for students, academic scholars, and professionals specialising in developmental, social, clinical and health psychology.

Critical Acclaim
''Research on trust, gullibility, and mistrust has contributed to the study of close relationships, whether romantic or therapeutic and to research on our navigation of conflicting testimony whether online, in the courtroom, or beyond. This Handbook with contributors from social psychology, developmental psychology and psychopathology is a rich – and trustworthy – guide to this flourishing field.''
