Blöbaum, Bernd (Ed.) (2016): Trust and Communication in a Digitized 
World. Models and Concepts of Trust Research. New York: Springer Publishing.

This book explores models and concepts of trust in a digitized world. 
Trust is a core concept that comes into play in multiple social and 
economic relations of our modern life. The book provides insights into 
the current state of research while presenting the viewpoints of a 
variety of disciplines such as communication studies, information 
systems, educational and organizational psychology, sports psychology 
and economics. Focusing on an investigation of how the Internet is 
changing the relationship between trust and communication, and the 
impact this change has on trust research, this volume facilitates a 
greater understanding of these topics, thus enabling their employment in 
social relations.

Keywords: trust, trustworthiness, distrust, risk, digitization, trust 
research in media, sport, science, economy, and social relations.

The numerous contributions in this book are the result of an intensive, 
interdisciplinary cooperation stretching over several years—a 
cooperation that still remains a rare phenomenon within academia. 
Scholars of various disciplines from the University of Münster such as 
communication and media studies, psychology, economics, sport science, 
and information science examined the effects of digitization on trust 
building in more than 20 research projects. The findings presented in 
this volume represent merely a segment of our joint research (for 
further publications, see 
http://www.uni-muenster.de/GK-Vertrauen-Kommunikation/publikationen/publikationen/publikationenpublikationen.html). 
The studies are part of the Research Training Group "Trust and 
Communication in a Digitized World", financed by the German Research 
Foundation (DFG), a cooperation of doctoral students, postdoctoral 
researchers, and professors from five disciplines. Each doctoral thesis 
is supervised by a team of supervisors from two academic fields and, 
usually, further supported by international mentors.
