Abstract

Trust serves as a fundamental pillar of human interactions, playing a crucial role in economic, social, and political relationships. While traditional models of trust primarily focus on the decision making of the first player, this paper introduces an innovative approach that shifts the emphasis to the decision making processes of the second player. The proposed model employs a repetitive structure through which the first player effectively cultivates the second player's trust through consistent and strategic actions. This framework is applicable across various fields, including public policy, marketing, and international relations. It significantly deepens our understanding of the trust-building process and aids in fostering sustainable cooperation in real world scenarios.
