Presence and the design of trust

Year: 2007
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The dissertation “Presence and the Design of Trust” explores the effects of mediating presence and of witnessing each other in moments of social interaction both in natural presence as well as in mediated presence [1]. In this dissertation I argue that natural presence is distinct, because the sense for what is good for survival and well-being is more profound in natural presence than in mediated presence. However, mediated presence contributes significantly to the language people share and the concepts they use. Witnessed presence has the potential to function as a catalyst both in natural as well as in mediated presence. Especially when facing issues of ethical nature, as happens in processes of innovation and evaluation, the gathering in natural presence is indispensable because the sense of presence can be maximized and incommensurability between participants can be tackled. In my conclusion I argue that four dimensions determine the effect of the design of presence on trust: time, place, action and the relation with the other person.
