Depiction of the interplay between the five factors of trust as perceived and received by the trainee. Trainees inferred different levels of trust based on the balance between task acuity and complexity and supervisor support. This balance could be shifted depending on the context and relationship factors. This balance impacts the trainee. a In optimal trust, trainees perceived appropriately balanced task acuity and complexity with supervisor support; as task acuity and complexity increased so did supervisor support and vice versa. b In under-trust, trainees recognized low task acuity and complexity with excessive supervisor support. c In over-trust, trainees received high task acuity and complexity with inadequate supervisor support
