If the account is to fit the encapsulated-interest model, then part of the learning that goes into revising one’s assessment of another’s trustworthiness is learning of the other’s interest in continuing the interaction. It is easy to misread the learning account as grounded in a purely dispositional view of trustworthiness, as discussed in chapter 2. If it is taken as an account of my assessing your capacity to judge your interests in cooperating with me, however, then it is fully consistent with the encapsulated-interest view.

XREF: Relates to the encapsulated-interest account of trust discussed throughout the book, distinguishing it from a purely dispositional view.
