- When it comes to measuring cynicism, the easiest way to measure it is through measuring trust. However, trust is not always an indicator of cynicism. People can trust but be cynical at the same time and likewise people can distrust and not be cynical either. But to measure trust, there are some key things to look for.
- Aspects of trust that can be measure can include predictability, the ability to fulfill promises, overall honesty and evaluations about why a person or group of people engage in behaviours.

So when it comes to education, examining predictability, examining the ability to fulfill promises, considering overall honesty and evaluating a persons motives can either build trust or distrust. Being critical in regards to these aspects are important, however, a teacher must be careful not to build cynicism.
