Trust through the study of game theories

Abstract

Why do we choose trust, even if it makes us vulnerable to the other party? Advanced trust can lead to success or failure, depending on the behavior of the trustee. Because the trustee cannot control the trustee, the result is uncertain. Complex researches on trust examines various aspects that directly or indirectly affect an individual’s trust decisions. In my study, I examine trust through game theory, which analyzes the relationships and decisions of participants through a disciplinary approach to mathematics. Different experiments in game theory place trust in a light that finds connections between trust, altruism, and cooperation through practical circumstances and decision-making situations. The study is a collection of existing game theory experiments and their results. A review of the literature and theory provides a basis for subsequent primary research, which also examines trust in the form of an experiment, based on the results presented in the study.
