Abstract
We introduce a theoretical framework which allows structuring the rather fuzzy discussed concept
of vulnerability. We distinguish between trusting beliefs and actual trusting behaviour in order to
separate the constructs of willingness-to-be-vulnerable and actual vulnerability. With the help of
the framework developed, we point to the need for more work on vulnerability in order to take the
study of trust to the next level. In this respect, we formulate several propositions that should be
tested by future research
