■对信任脆弱性的调查对于理解信任形成和侵蚀的潜在机制很重要。然而,由于缺乏对风险来源和信息类型的考虑,阻碍了对信任脆弱性的更有效探索。
■这项研究将不对称调查扩展到经验和描述性决策下的社会和自然风险。以信任博弈为决策范式,以金钱为主体,这项研究采用实验方法来检验人们在受到自然和社会风险的积极和消极影响后如何看待和做出决定。共有286名大学生参加了我们的研究。研究1(n=138)和研究2(n=148)分别探讨了经验和描述性决策中的不对称性。
■研究结果表明,在考虑经验信息时,与阳性信息的增强作用相比,阴性信息在降低信任方面的作用更大(t=-1.95,p=0.050)。此外,研究表明,负面信息在社会风险而不是自然风险的背景下具有更强的负面影响(t=-3.26,p=0.002),这表明信任在内部和外部都是脆弱的。相反,当考虑描述性信息时,正面和负面信息对信任的影响是对称的,与自然风险相比,负面信息的影响较小,表明信任具有一定的弹性(t=2.25,p=0.028)。
■该研究强调了在复杂场景中细化风险源和信息特征的重要性,以提高对信任增强和修复的理解。
UNASSIGNED: The investigation of trust vulnerability is important to the understanding of the potential mechanisms of trust formation and erosion. However, more effective exploration of trust vulnerability has been hindered due to the lack of consideration of risk sources and types of information.
UNASSIGNED: This study extended the investigation of asymmetry to both social and natural risk under experiential and descriptive decisions. Using the trust game as the decision-making paradigm and money as the subject matter, the research employed experimental methods to examine how people perceive and make decisions after being positively and negatively affected by natural and social risks. A total of 286 college students were participated in our study. Study 1 (n = 138) and Study 2 (n = 148) explored asymmetry in experiential and descriptive decision separately.
UNASSIGNED: The findings indicated that when considering experiential information, negative information had a greater effect in reducing trust compared to the enhancing effect of positive information (t = -1.95, p = 0.050). Moreover, the study revealed that negative information had a stronger negative impact in the context of social risks rather than natural risks (t = -3.26, p = 0.002), suggesting that trust is vulnerable both internally and externally. Conversely, when considering descriptive information, the effect of both positive and negative information on trust was symmetrical, and the impact of negative information was less significant compared to that of natural risks, indicating that trust has a certain level of resilience (t = 2.25, p = 0.028).
UNASSIGNED: The study emphasizes the importance of refining risk sources and information characteristics in complex scenarios in order to improve understanding of trust enhancement and repair.
