Description

Roberto Araya and Pablo González-Vicente measure trust in young schoolchildren, in a paper dated twenty twenty-five. Nearly three thousand fourth graders from 135 schools played a public goods game. Their choices showed how much they trusted classmates versus outsiders.

Trust ran much higher toward the in-group than the out-group. Boys trusted more than girls on the whole. Public school pupils trusted more than those in state-aided private schools. Kind and careful traits, drawn from a picture-based trait test, also predicted more trust. The study maps how trust grows in the classroom.
