Read the sample research article by Shelden et al. (2010) at the end of Chapter 1. Analyze the article, and answer the following questions:

  • Hoy and Tschannen-Moran (1999) identified 16 definitions of trust from extant literature. They studied those definitions and found five facets of trust that emerged as they conducted their analysis. Shelden et al.

  • In selecting participants, what was the researcher’s goal?
  • What reason did the authors give as to why they felt this question was worthy of study?
