Scoring Schhoorman & Ballinger

    Hello:

    I am going nutso.  Sorry for venting. :(

    I am planning on using Schoorman & Ballinger's 2006 trust scale as the instrument for my trust construct.  It has an alpha of 0.84 and the questions fit well with my other psychometrics.   Schoorman,  Mayer & Davis chat about it in their 07 AOM piece, but I cannot find out how they scored it.

    I have searched, but failed literature how to score it.  Are the question scores summed. 
     
    Or is each individual's responses to each question summed. A higher score indicates a more positive trust relationship is perceived?
     
    Any help, pointing me to research article that has this info would be super.
     
    Confused dissertation writter...
