Evidence

What often happens, however, is that people grow into a richer relationship of friendship or at least cooperativeness with respect to some range of matters. At that point, trust may often be overdetermined because trustworthiness is overdetermined. You may be trustworthy out of interest, morality, and friendship. — Russell Hardin, Trust and Trustworthiness, 881
