Abstract: By the trust evaluations of randomly generated 300 faces, we found that, participants rated the unfamiliar faces in different trustworthiness levels. Which suggested that initial trust was directly influenced by trustworthiness level based on facial features. This study showed the characteristics of face trust evaluation, and then further explored its relationships with trust propensity. Results showed that there were significant positive correlations between trust propensity and face evaluation, and the correlation was remarkable between the evaluation of untrustworthy faces and trust propensity. These results suggested that the trustworthiness of face and trust propensity were two important factors in the period of initial trust establishment.

Key words: trust evaluation, facial trustworthiness, trust propensity, initial trust

摘要: 68名大学生对随机生成的300张面孔进行是否值得信任的评价,结果显示评价者对陌生面孔的初始信任程度不同,表明由结构特征所决定的面孔可信度的高低直接影响了评价者对其信任程度的高低。随后研究进一步考察了信任倾向与面孔信任评价间的关系,结果表明信任倾向与面孔信任评价间存在显著正相关,其中在“不值得信任面孔”评价中表现尤为显著。这些结果表明,面孔可信度和信任倾向两因素对于初始信任判断具有重要的影响作用。
