New research out of Dartmouth shows how we build trust. They actually looked at the brains in action and found that trust is build up reciprocation and social interaction. Perhaps this is why pets and owners have trust between them, or why marriages and friendships fail when communication is cut off or not reciprocated. People have a need for comradery – a “we are in this together” feeling. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/08/150811103650.htm
