研究发现,人们对陌生人是否可信的判断,会从自身是否可信推断而来,这种“虚假共识”效应即使经过大量学习也难以消除,且自身可信度可追溯到父母在教养中传递的价值观。

Abstract

Individuals’ beliefs about the trustworthiness of a generic member of the population are both heterogeneous across individuals and persistent across generations. We investigate one mechanism yielding these dual patterns: false consensus. In the context of a trust game experiment, we show that the relationship between behavior and beliefs is consistent with individuals extrapolating their trust beliefs from their own trustworthiness and that this tendency continues even after substantial learning opportunities. We go on to provide evidence suggesting that one's own trustworthiness can be traced back to the values parents transmit to their children during their upbringing.
