It is commonly believed that the credibility is a personal characteristic, a moral quality of the person issuing the communication message. We talk about integrity (Aristotle in “Rhetoric” identified in honesty, consistency and reliability the quality of the person credible) of reliability, consistency, reliability, etc., as a set of attitudes that converge in that person. According to the contemporary psychological and sociological reflection however, credibility is something that is recognized by others, even if it not be able to leave out of consideration of the actual qualities owned by that person. In any communicative relationship the people give each other some credibility that constitutes “the agreement” which governs the relationship. The credibility is given to the person who has (or is deemed to have), knowledge and expertise, or who embodies the model of life and behavior to which we ourselves aspire, who share our values and are bearers of those values which enjoy greater consideration in our society. Still, the credibility refers to the perception of a positive relationship between sender and receiver. It is also defined as affective correspondence, as it relies on the emotional dimension. Ultimately, the credibility is always linked to the role, as the role is idealized and perceived positively in society, and also to the way individuals interpret that particular role with their own personality, giving it strength and thickness.
Someone said that credibility, like virginity, can only be lost once and never recovered.
