The Trust Game: The Psychology of Risk, Power & Human Nature
Description
Would you risk £10 to potentially turn it into £30 — if it meant trusting a stranger?
In this episode of The Vancrux Podcast, we break down the powerful behavioural economics experiment known as The Trust Game, developed by researchers like Joyce Berg, John Dickhaut, and Kevin McCabe.
You’ll discover why humans aren’t purely selfish, how trust multiplies value in business and relationships, and why betrayal rewires future decisions. If you want to build influence, leadership, and long-term success — you need to understand the psychology of trust.
Trust isn’t weakness. It’s strategy.
