| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project aimed to examine various factors influencing the judgments of others' trustworthiness and the mechanisms behind them. Three interesting results were mainly obtained. First, persistent reliance on facial appearance among older adults when judging others' trustworthiness was revealed. Second, it was found that the information about someone’s untrustworthy behaviors changes the perception of his or her facial appearance, which in turn makes it difficult to update his or her trustworthiness impression later. Third, I demonstrated that people more or less believe that a variety of traits other than trustworthiness can be inferred from faces, and that this belief extremizes face-based trustworthiness judgments. These findings have made important and novel contributions to the psychology of trustworthiness judgment.
