Douglas Marquissee Rayann Juteau Abstract What is the relationship between trust in family members, trust in oneself, trust in current romantic partner? In this presentation, we look at two specific research questions.

This will help us see the importance of trust in significant relationships throughout one’s life. What is the relationship between an individual’s ability to share secrets with the parent they trust the most, and the ability to share secrets with their current romantic partner? What is the relationship between one’s trust in the parent they trust the most and one’s trust in their romantic partner? Trust is a social interaction between two individuals.

These interactions start at birth and continue through the rest of the individual’s life. Both research questions focus on the development of trust in younger years when the individual is growing up, and how those experiences can affect trust in later year with romantic partners. Using survey monkey, we created a survey to gather information regarding trust in the family, trust in the self, and trust in one’s current romantic partner.

Taking these surveys and running them through the SPSS program, allowed us to gather statistics to help us to better understand the relationships created and how they may affect each other.

The results to both research questions did not result in any significant findings. Because there are no significant findings, implications look for a way to improve the study.
