Abstract
Three studies (total N = 1,961) provide evidence for a moderation of the trust-risk association by personal control, highlighting that a lack of control could lead individuals to derive risk evaluations from beliefs about the trustworthiness of powerful others, which might explain the vital effect of trust on risk perception.
