Confidence Words

Words can be chosen to build confidence. Persuaders often make explicit statements, simple claims, or assertions about themselves that they are trustworthy.

Basically, three major ideas (expertise, sincerity, benevolence) are involved when persuaders say "Trust Me."

The emphasis can vary: authority figures may use words to stress their expertise; friend figures may use words to stress their sincerity and kindness.
