Exploring the Dimensionality of Trust in Risk Regulation (2003, methodology): “This would compare to what Walls et al. (2003) call “uncritical emotional acceptance.””
Hunter Perceptions of Similarity and Trust in Wildlife Agencies and Personal Risk Associated with Chronic Wasting Disease (2008, background): “Perhaps this may partially explain the mixed results in studies examining relationships between trust and risk (Siegrist et al. 2000; Viklund 2003; Walls et al. 2004).”
