This presentation aims to review the instruments created for the evaluation of interpersonal trust among various age groups within a Spanish speaking community.     The quality of the relationships established between members of any given social group, permits the growth of each person in particular as well as that of the group as a whole. In most cases, and particularly so during infancy, our needs can only be satisfied through interaction with others. This fact necessarily entails interdependence, and requires reciprocity. It is therefore important to be able to predict how the other person will be have in order to anticipate our own behaviour, in order to obtain some advantage or avoid frustration. Expectations cause attributive changes depending on whether the other person's attitude is interpreted as belligerent or co-operative. It also modifies behaviour towards others.

Palabras clave : Interpersonal trust; interdependence; reciprocity; attributive changes.
