[ecrea] Book announcement: Trust and Communication in a Digitized World

Wed Apr 06 17:20:40 GMT 2016



Blöbaum, Bernd (Ed.) (2016): Trust and Communication in a Digitized
World. Models and Concepts of Trust Research. New York: Springer Publishing.

This book explores models and concepts of trust in a digitized world.
Trust is a core concept that comes into play in multiple social and
economic relations of our modern life. The book provides insights into
the current state of research while presenting the viewpoints of a
variety of disciplines such as communication studies, information
systems, educational and organizational psychology, sports psychology
and economics. Focusing on an investigation of how the Internet is
changing the relationship between trust and communication, and the
impact this change has on trust research, this volume facilitates a
greater understanding of these topics, thus enabling their employment in
social relations.

Keywords: trust, trustworthiness, distrust, risk, digitization, trust
research in media, sport, science, economy, and social relations.

The numerous contributions in this book are the result of an intensive,
interdisciplinary cooperation stretching over several years - a
cooperation that still remains a rare phenomenon within academia.
Scholars of various disciplines from the University of Münster such as
communication and media studies, psychology, economics, sport science,
and information science examined the effects of digitization on trust
building in more than 20 research projects. The findings presented in
this volume represent merely a segment of our joint research (for
further publications, see

The studies are part of the Research Training Group "Trust and
Communication in a Digitized World", financed by the German Research
Foundation (DFG), a cooperation of doctoral students, postdoctoral
researchers, and professors from five disciplines. Each doctoral thesis
is supervised by a team of supervisors from two academic fields and,
usually, further supported by international mentors.
