S13E9: What is TRUST? Why do we Need it?

This episode will give answers to both questions. It starts with describing the connection between reward, risk, fear, and trust, explaining why we even need trust and how it plays a role in our willingness to take risks to get rewards. Later in the episode, I will provide my own definition of trust, breaking it down into its components. This episode incorporates findings from my recent study of our attitudes toward trust and risk-taking and identifies gender and age differences in those attitudes.
