Figure 2
The figure compares two conceptual models of trust and distrust. The continuum model places low trust with high distrust on one end and high trust with low distrust on the other end of a single horizontal axis, treating trust and distrust as opposites. The independent model positions trust and distrust on separate axes. The vertical axis shows low to high trust, while the horizontal axis shows low to high distrust. This allows combinations such as low trust and low distrust, or high trust and high distrust, to be represented independently.Models of trust and distrust
