The Roots of Trust: Cognition Beyond Rational

Trust is not simply the result of rational cognition but relies on rational and "beyond rational" cognition. The concept of trust is discussed in terms of its biological, Maslow, and cognitive roots. The cognitive roots rely on the Dual Process Theory, i.e. that there are two types of cognition sometimes called rational and non-rational. Therefore, the roots of trust need a cognitive architecture that implements the Dual Process Theory and involves cognition both rational and beyond rational.
