Local trust systems are used independently by participants of a mobile ad hoc network in order to build direct and indirect reciprocity-based cooperation in packet forwarding. They enable nodes to distinguish between selfish (untrustworthy) and cooperative (trustworthy) users. The type of information used to evaluate the behaviour of other network participants impacts the performance of such systems. Depending on whether the information considers the status of a node's own packets or the packets of others, it can be partitioned into personal and general classes. In this paper we show that the size of the network should have an influence on a node's decision whether to use personal or general data classes by its trust system. To demonstrate this we use an evolutionary approach based on replicator dynamic. The results obtained using the approach and computer simulation allow us to predict how data classes might be used for trust evaluation by independent network users acting out of self-interest. Our simulation studies demonstrate that, in the presence of a small number of nodes, a node should evaluate the level of cooperation of other network participants using personal and general data. However, if the network size is large, then relying on personal data only is the best choice for the node.
