A Review of Selected Scale Construction and Evaluation Studies in Interpersonal and Organizational Trust
Trust, both interpersonal and organizational, has received a substantial amount of attention as a research topic, in recent years. To enhance the research in this area, a number of authors have come up with scales to measure trust. Different strategies can be used to develop personality scales. This paper examines twenty published studies on the topic of scale construction and evaluation, using as a focus the topic of trust. For each paper reviewed, a critical evaluation of the scale construction strategy used is offered, together with an assessment of the contribution of the study to the development of the trust construct. Following the 20 reviews, an overview section is presented, with general comments covering the cumulative work in the area of scales measuring trust.
