Summary/Abstract: Trust and Trustworthiness as a Behavioural Social Norm. We present the results of a trust investment game performed with university students in Slovakia. We discuss the social norms of the participants of our experiment, notably the notions of trust and reciprocity. By analyzing the one-shot version of the game, as well as the case of a repeated game with unspecified number of repetitions, we also show a dependence on outcome of the prior rounds (hence the learning effect) and provide a possible explanation for the choice of behaviour strategies observed in our sample.
