As web-mediated social spaces become more commonplace on the
internet, a need arises for understanding classical social phenomena
in this new context. Trust is one of these phenomena. The purpose
of this book is to study several aspects of interpersonal trust in
web-mediated social spaces. More specifically, this book discusses
questions on how predominant social orders, space design, and
representations of user identity affect trust on the individual level.
In order to answer the research questions stated above, we employ
an explorative mixed-methods approach. This approach consists of
two parts: a literature study which discusses earlier sociological
works on trust by Callon, Goffman, Lewicki, Luhmann, Misztal,
and Tönnies, as well as an interview-based case study of four San
Francisco and Silicon Valley-based web companies, Opinity,
RapLeaf, TN20, and Yahoo.
We draw several conclusions. First, that underlying tensions
between different social orders affects the type of trust established
online. Second, that the impression of a user, an important basis
for interpersonal trust, is not only affected by the users' own
expressions but also by the expressions of the facilitator of the
web-mediated social space. Third, we conclude that user
representations are, in profound ways, able to affect the trusting
behaviours of individuals and thus change the nature of the trust
established between them within a social space.
