Gender, Trust, and Interpersonal Relationships

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze trust types in private settings, that is to say, in personal contexts. To this aim a series of tables have been constructed as well as interviews conducted with twelve individuals with different cultural backgrounds. These case-individuals have been selected to include both males and females. The cultural context has been set to cover Swedish and Iranian individuals so as to enhance diversity. In this study a certain emphasize will be placed on men-men and women-women interpersonal trust, in order to see what ―types of trust‖ are found in such relationships at the presence of gender difference.
