Abstract
Chapter 1: I use subjects recruited from an online employment exchange to study the robustness of the triadic trust design with a different subject pool. In running my experiments, I take advantage of the cost-reducing features of the micro-employment culture found on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. I find that first mover trust is robust to the change in subject pool, but second mover reciprocity is not. In exploring this failure, I examine some of the procedural requirements necessitated by Mechanical Turk.
