And so again, succeeding, thriving, optimizing and being creative, both at the individual and at the group level, require environments where we feel free and where we feel safe and where we feel that contributing to somebody else can also contribute to ourselves.

Well, the first thing that I would do is give you that classic questionnaire from Cook and Medley, which would just ask you about your theories of the world. What do you think people are like? Do you think that people are generally honest? do you think that they are generally trustworthy?

No, it's a series of 50 statements. And you're asked in a binary way, do you agree or disagree with each of these statements? Since then, Olga Stavrova and others have adapted Cook Medley and made it a shorter scale and turned the questions into continuous one to nine or one to seven answers.

But generally speaking, these are discrete questions that numerically or quantitatively tap our general theories of people. If you were in my lab, I might also ask you to play some different economic games, the trust game being the number one that we might use here. So I can explain it. So the trust game involves two players, and one of them is an investor.

They start out with some amount of money, let's just say $10. They can send as much of that money as they want to a trustee. The money is then tripled in value. So if the investor sends $10 in the hands of the trustee, it becomes $30. The trustee can then choose to give back whatever amount they want to the investor.

So they can be exactly fair and give $15 back, in which case both people end up pretty much better off than they would have without an act of trust. The trustee can keep all $30 themselves, betraying the investor. Or the trustee can give more than 50% back. They can say, well, I started out with nothing. Why don't you take two-thirds back? And this is one terrific behavioral measure of trust.

And it can be played in a couple of different ways. One is binary, where I would say, Andrew, you can send $10 to an internet stranger, or you can send nothing. And they can choose to send you back half, or they can choose to send you back nothing. Would you do it? Actually, I'm curious. Would you do that?

Yeah. Follow-up question. In that type of study, what percentage of trustees do you think make the trustworthy decision of sending back the money?
