The article explores how emotions and individual differences play a role in repairing trust in organizations. Instead of just focusing on how trustworthy someone seems, the researchers looked at how emotions and personal traits affect the trust repair process. They found that negative emotions strongly influence trust repair and are linked to not trusting. While individual differences didn't have a big impact, the study supported a model where willingness to trust mediates the relationship between perceptions of trustworthiness and not trusting. Emotions became more important as trust repair progressed, suggesting that just using cognitive models isn't enough to understand trust and how it's fixed.
