The Minds Eye on Personal Profile: A Cognitive Perspective on Profile Elements that Information Initial Trustworthiness Assessments and Social Awareness in Virtual Project Teams (2013) #20
I found this article https://www.researchgate.net/publication/257552355_The_Mind%27s_Eye_on_Personal_Profiles_A_Cognitive_Perspective_on_Profile_Elements_that_Inform_Initial_Trustworthiness_Assessments_and_Social_Awareness_in_Virtual_Project_Teams really fun to read since a lot of the informational cues that I would have assumed to have a strong relationship with trust, were not as important. Information such as your name, did not have a strong relationship with ones trustworthiness assessment. However, "there seem to be strong relations between each of the information elements ‘work, experience, education, age, language skills, occupation/function/role/job’ and the antecedent ‘competence’ in comparison to the other information elements and antecedents. Likewise, stronger relations can be seen between the elements ‘personal motivation, ‘ideas in relation with a project; and the antecedent ‘commitment’. Results also reveal that not all information preferences can be explained with the cognitive schema of trustworthiness some elements, such as photo, seem to be selected because they provide trusters with a certain ‘feel’ for a trustee, refereeing to an intuitive and affective impression that contributes to the trust formation process.’ "
I thought this was a good resource in looking at ways to to create some forms of trust in new virtual groups, or when a new member joins a virtual group. These elements of information could help them when interacting in a virtual group for the first time. For example, if a group member knew about another members work experience or hobbies, they would be able to spark conversation about their work or similar hobbies when they meet via zoom, Skype, etc. This could help start the process of building trust in their virtual teams.
