Trust relations scale in complexity from iterated games to thick ties

Evidence

The encapsulated-interest conception fits three distinct categories of interaction: interactions that fit the model of the iterated oneway trust game, iterated exchange interactions as modeled by the prisoner’s dilemma, and interactions in thick relationships. These categories of trust relations represent increasing complexity of the interactions. — Russell Hardin, Trust and Trustworthiness, 65
