The second reason the constructs are clearly discriminant from each other is that they form different sentences in the “grammar” of trust. That is, trust was modeled as an action sentence with a subject, verb, and direct object (see
Figure 2). The trustor is the subject or nominative of the sentence, trust itself is the verb or predicate, and the trustee is the direct object. Figure 1 shows (in parentheses ) that the direct object is the differentiating factor among dis-positional, institutional, and interpersonal constructs. Per Figure 2, while dis-positional trust means that one trusts others generally, institutional trust means that one trusts the situation or structures.
