Conceptualization and Measurement of Trust in Home-School Contexts: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT: Objective and Method: This review unravels the complexity of trust in home-school contexts across the globe by drawing on 79 peer-reviewed quantitative empirical studies spanning over two decades (2000-2020).
