The review of literature covers an extensive amount of academic papers to encapsulate each and every aspect of trust ranging from simple characterization of the concept to the deep-seated complexities of the matter like the effect of ethnicity on trust or the neurological effects during a breach of trust. Finally, it identifies serious gaps in research that are needed to be worked upon by other researchers to further our understanding of the matter.
