ABSTRACT
Resumen El estudio de la confianza interpersonal es crucial para el desarrollo psicosocial humano. Se ha observado que, durante la niñez, favorece el comportamiento moral y prosocial, los vínculos de amistad, la competencia social, la experiencia de emociones positivas y el rendimiento académico, entre otros aspectos. El presente trabajo tuvo por objetivo adaptar y validar la Cross Cultural Children Trust Beliefs Scale (CCCTBS), a fin de poder evaluar este constructo en población argentina. La muestra incluyó 348 niños (51.2 % mujeres; 48.8 % varones), de entre 8 y 12 años de edad (m = 10.58; DE = 1.31), quienes completaron la CCCTBS y una escala de apego. Se consiguió una versión conceptual y semánticamente equivalente a la original, con buenas propiedades psicométricas. La escala argentina conserva el mismo número de ítems y replica el modelo operacional de partida, constituido por tres bases principales de la confianza: fiabilidad (α = .76; ω = .80), confianza emocional (α = .72; ω = .78) y honestidad (α = .78; ω = .83). Las puntuaciones de la CCCTBS correlacionaron positiva y significativamente con la medida de apego seguro, lo que aporta evidencias de su validez nomológica.
Abstract The study of interpersonal trust is crucial for human psychological development. It has been observed that it enhances moral and prosocial behavior during childhood, as well as friendship bonds, social competence, experience of positive emotions and academic performance, among others. This research aimed to adapt and validate the Cross-Cultural Children Trust Beliefs Scale (CCCTBS), to assess this construct in the Argentine population. The sample included 348 children (51.2 % female; 48.8 % male) aged 8 to 12 years (m = 10.58; SD = 1.31), who completed the CCCTBS and an attachment scale. A version, conceptually and semantically equivalent to the original was obtained, with good psychometric properties. The Argentine scale retains the same number of items and replicates the starting operational model, consisting of three main bases of trust: reliability (α = .76; ω = .80), emotional trust (α = .72; ω = .78) and honesty (α = .78; ω = .83). The CCCTBS scores correlated positively and significantly with the secure attachment measure, providing evidence of its nomological validity.
ABSTRACT
Trust in automation plays a leading role in human-automation interaction. As there lack of scales measuring trust in automation in China, the purpose of this study was to adapt the trust between People and Automation Scale (TPAS) into Chinese and to demonstrate its psychometric properties among Chinese adults. A total of 310 Chinese adults were randomly selected as sample 1, and 508 Chinese adults as sample 2. Results of the item analysis revealed that each item had a good quality, and the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) suggested that the two-factor model with 12 items was the best fitting model. In addition, the TPAS was positively correlated with Interpersonal Trust Scale (ITS), proving good evidence based on relations to other variables to support the TPAS. In sum, the study suggested that the Chinese version of the TPAS could be used as an effective tool to assess trust in automation in the Chinese context.

Exploring neural markers that predict trust behavior may help us to identify the cognitive process underlying trust decisions and to develop a new approach to promote interpersonal trust. It remains unknown how trust behavior may be predicted early in the decision process. We used electrophysiology to sample the brain activity while participants played the role of trustor in an iterative trust game. The results showed that during the trust generation stage, the trust condition led to higher frontocentral beta band activity related to cognitive inhibition compared to the distrust condition (item level). Moreover, individuals with higher frontocentral beta band activity were more likely to perform trust choices at the single-trial level (individual level). Furthermore, after receiving reciprocity feedback on trial
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the association between the students’emotional quotient (EQ),personality trait and interpersonal trust, and to clarify the potential function of interpersonal trust of higher students. Methods Interpersonal Trust Scale, Emotional Quotient Table and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) were used to investigate 364 students from Guangxi University and Guangxi Teachers Education University.SPSS 18.0 software was used for one-way ANOVA variance analysis,Pearson product-moment correlation analysis and stepwise Multiple Linear regression analysis.Results The differences in interpersonal trust,EQ and personality trait of EPQ had statistical significance between males and females,and the males’scores were higher than those of females (P <0.05,P < 0.01);the differencs in Lie of EPQ between nations had statistical significance and the scores of Dong, Hui and Tujia ethnic minority were higher than those of other nationalities (P < 0.01 ); the difference in personality trait of EPQ between educational background had statistical significances, and the undergraduates’scores were higher than those of master students (P <0.05).EQ was positively correlated with EPQ-E and EPQ-L (r=0.274,P <0.01;r =0.145,P <0.01),and was negatively correlated with EPQ-N and EPQ-P (r=-0.422,P <0.01;r = -0.202,P <0.01);interpersonal trust was negatively correlated with EQ and EPQ-E (r=-0.273,P <0.01;r=-0.169,P <0.01);special trust was negatively correlated with EQ and EPQ-E (r=-0.252,P <0.01;r = - 0.151,P < 0.01);interpersonal trust and general trust were negatively correlated with EPQ-P (r =0.313,P <0.01;r =0.338,P <0.01),and they were positively correlated with EPQ-L (r=-0.201,P <0.01;r = -0.217,P <0.01).Conclusion The students’EQ,personality trait are related to interpersonal trust of the students in Guangxi universities,and they have important prediction effects. Improving students’ EQ and interpersonal trust plays a positive role, whereas, the possible negative effects accompanying should never be neglected.
