  We propose a method to integrate face-work, a common social ritual related to
trust, into a decision-making agent that works collaboratively with a human.
Face-work is a set of trust-building behaviors designed to "save face" or
prevent others from "losing face." This paper describes the design of a
decision-making process that explicitly considers face-work as part of its
action selection. We also present a simulated robot arm deployed in an online
environment that can be used to evaluate the proposed method.
