Trust Responsiveness. On the Dynamics of Fiduciary Interactions
No full textTrust and trustworthiness are key elements, both at the micro and macro level, in sustaining the working
of modern economies and their institutions. However, despite its centrality, trust continues to be considered
as a “conceptual bumblebee”, it works in practice but not in theory. In particular, its behavioural
rationale still represents a puzzle for traditional rational choice theory and game theory. In this paper
“trust responsiveness”, an alternative explanatory principle that can account for trustful and trustworthy
behaviour, is proposed. Such principle assumes that people can be motivated to behave trustworthily by
trustful actions. The paper discusses the philosophical roots, the historical development, as well as the
relational nature of this principle as well as its theoretical implications.

Il limite permeabile. La costruzione di uno spazio intersoggettivo condiviso nelle relazioni strategiche
Full text linkThis article focuses on the relational aspects of strategic interactions. First, we highlight how some of the limitations of the classical theory of games can hinder a deeper understanding of two fundamental dimensions of interpersonal relations, which are essential to our social epistemology: the mentalizing and empathizing processes. Secondly, we present the results of a series of experiments that stress the role of these two elements in the realm of strategic interactions. Finally, we argue that, by conceptualizing a hierarchy of higher order beliefs, psychological game theory seems to constitute a promising step forward towards the introduction of relational elements in the motivational structure of social agents and in the understanding of the intersubjective space we build and share when interacting with others
