Lack of confidence causes anomie while lack of trust alters decision-making

Evidence

I wish to propose a continuum of words connoting belief based on the degree to which they rest on evidence of the senses. Faith requires no evidence; trust is an expectation based on inconclusive evidence, is tolerant of uncertainty or risk; confidence is a strong conviction based on substantial evidence or logical deduction. These are all subjective attitudes. — Diego Gambetta, Trust - Making and Breaking Cooperative…, 2409 (#expands, via linked claim)
