“…Data from the accompanying twinstudy suggest that these idiosyncratic first impressions are products of individuals' direct social experience. These findings accord well with earlier lab-based work indicating that social experience influences observers' subsequent impressions of facial trustworthiness (2,3). Documenting stable individual differences in observers' first impressions is important, not least because these data potentially inform accounts of developmental origin.…”

“…Trustworthiness judgements are also based on an initial assessment of available information about a person's moral character, such as prior knowledge or their facial features at first encounter (50–52). Including pictures of research team members and a positive message about them in outward-facing study materials may help form trustworthiness associations (53). Staff pictures and short written profiles could be displayed in waiting rooms.…”

Recruitment methods for pregnancy trials should focus on building women's trust in the trial, and on enhancing women's self-efficacy so they feel able to meet trial requirements. Suggestions for building trust include investing time in open, honest discussion of the risks and benefits of participation, improving visibility of the research team, testimonials from previous participants and advertising study safety and ethical conduct. Self-efficacy can be enhanced by training research staff in empowering styles of communication enabling women to feel heard and supported to problem-solve. These strategies could be implemented relatively easily into pregnancy trial protocols, and their effectiveness tested through their impact on recruitment rates.

“…And third, Falvello, Vinson, Ferrari, and Todorov (2015) had participants explicitly associate short descriptions of trustworthy and non-trustworthy behaviour with different faces. They found that this explicit association of trust behaviour with individual faces showed an impressive capacity-participants could reliably learn up to 400 associations of faces with behavioural vignettes in a single session.…”

Examining the Durability of Incidentally Learned Trust from Gaze Cues

In everyday interactions we find our attention follows the eye gaze of faces around us. As this cueing is so powerful and difficult to inhibit, gaze can therefore be used to facilitate or disrupt visual processing of the environment, and when we experience this we infer information about the trustworthiness of the cueing face. However, to date no studies have investigated how long these impressions last. To explore this we used a gaze-cueing paradigm where faces consistently demonstrated either valid or invalid cueing behaviours. Previous experiments show that valid faces are subsequently rated as more trustworthy than invalid faces. We replicate this effect (Experiment 1) and then include a brief interference task in Experiment 2 between gaze cueing and trustworthiness rating, which weakens but does not completely eliminate the effect. In Experiment 3, we explore whether greater familiarity with the faces improves the durability of trust learning and find that the effect is more resilient with familiar faces. Finally, in Experiment 4, we push this further and show that evidence of trust learning can be seen up to an hour after cueing has ended. Taken together, our results suggest that incidentally learned trust can be durable, especially for faces that deceive.
