“…The ECGTBS items were developed to correspond with the three bases of Rotenberg's (1994Rotenberg's ( , 2001) interpersonal trust framework and three analyses were performed to examine which items best represented these bases: (1) selection of item pairs that represented each base of trust per target with acceptable facility indexes, (2) factor analysis of the items at Time 1 in order to guide the selection of representative items, and (3) confirmatory factor analysis at Time 2 to confirm the hypothesized three-factor structure.…”

“…The ability to conceptualize the trust attributes of others is important for understanding the motives of others and also in gaining knowledge (Harris, 2007;Koenig et al, 2004). Rotenberg's (1994Rotenberg's ( , 2001 three bases x two dimensions of target x two domains interpersonal trust framework was used to guide the development of the ECGTBS. The reliability base pertains to the extent to which an individual fulfils their promises.…”

Whilst developing the CGTBS, simplified the definitions of the reliability, emotional trust, and honesty bases from Rotenberg's (1994Rotenberg's ( , 2001) trust framework to focus on promise-keeping, secret-keeping, and telling the truth respectively. In the current study, the definitions were further simplified to reflect the young age of the sample and the salient aspects of trust.…”

The study was designed to develop and evaluate the Early Childhood Generalized Trust Belief Scale (ECGTBS) as a method of assessing 5-to 8-year-olds' generalized trust. Two hundred and eleven (103 male and 108 female) children (mean age 6 years and 2 months at Time 1) completed the ECGTBS twice over a year. A subsample of participants completed the ECGTBS after two weeks to assess the scale's test-retest reliability. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed that the ECGTBS assessed the expected three factors: reliability, emotional trust, and honesty with item-pairs loading most strongly on their corresponding factor. However, the ECGTBS demonstrated low to modest internal consistency and test-retest reliability which indicates a need for further development of this instrument. As evidence for the convergent validity of the ECGTBS, the reliability and emotional trust items were associated with the children's trust in classmates at Time 2.Concurrent asymmetric quadratic relationships indicated the importance of midrange generalized trust. Specifically, children with very high generalized trust experienced greater loneliness and children with very low generalized trust had fewer friendships than children with midrange trust.

The study was designed to examine Herman and Polivy's restrained eating theory (Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 84, 666–672, 1975) using two different methods: situational‐experimental and dispositional‐correlational. Fifty‐eight female college students were administered the revised UCLA Loneliness Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory (Short Form), and the Restraint scale. Subsequently, the students were subjected to either a neutral, sad, or loneliness mood induction and then ate cookies under the pretext of participating in a taste test. Consistent with expectation, dieters tended to consume more food in the loneliness than neutral mood condition, whereas nondieters displayed the opposite pattern. A comparable pattern was found in the relation between the revised UCLA Loneliness Scale and food consumption with respect to Restraint; the amount of food consumed increased as a function of loneliness for high restrained eaters, whereas the amount of food consumed decreased as a function of loneliness for low restrained eaters. There were no appreciable effects of the sad mood induction, nor prediction by dispositional depression, regarding the amount of food consumed as a function of dietary restraint. The findings were discussed with respect to the motivational role that loneliness may play in inhibiting and disinhibiting food consumption. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Don't trust anybody: Conspiracy mentality and the detection of facial trustworthiness cues

Conspiracy theories express mistrust in common explanations and epistemic authorities. Independent of concrete content, the extent of endorsing conspiracy theories has also shown associations with interpersonal mistrust. Arguing from an evolutionary and error‐management perspective, this increased interpersonal mistrust could either represent an enhanced sensitivity to untrustworthiness cues, or a limited ability to recognize trustworthiness, or non‐specific mistrust without differentiations between (un)trustworthiness cues. In two experimental studies (N = 563), we manipulated facial trustworthiness and tested the differentiation of trustworthiness evaluations as a function of conspiracy mentality. We found that conspiracy mentality was associated with a generalized tendency to perceive others as untrustworthy, independent of facial trustworthiness, speaking to non‐specific manifestations of mistrust. However, the association between conspiracy mentality and trust became non‐significant once age was accounted for in Study 1. We discuss how conspiracy mentality may be associated with an increased propensity to view the world as having malevolent intentions.
