Abstract

With three convenient samples (n = 1,087) and one sample representative for the German population in terms of age and gender (n = 210), we replicate research by Zlatev (2019) showing that perceived benevolence-based and perceived integrity-based trustworthiness increase with a target’s level of caring about a social issue. We show that these results generalize to various issues ranging from environmental issues (i.e., installation of wind turbines in the North Sea) to issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., online teaching to prevent the spread of the virus). Furthermore, we provide initial behavioral evidence for this effect by showing that transfers in a trust game increase with a target’s caring about a social issue. All results are robust for age, gender, and social issue. To provide best estimates for the effect of a target’s level of caring on perceived trustworthiness, we report results of three mini meta-analyses including our findings as well as the findings of the original research. Policy implications are discussed.

关注(COVID-19相关)社会问题标志着诚信:对兹拉捷夫的直接和概念性复制(2019)

通过三个方便的样本(n = 1087)和一个代表德国人口年龄和性别的样本(n = 210)，我们复制了Zlatev(2019)的研究，该研究表明，基于仁慈的感知和基于诚信的感知可信度随着目标对社会问题的关心程度而增加。我们表明，这些结果可以推广到各种问题，从环境问题(即在北海安装风力涡轮机)到与COVID-19大流行相关的问题(即防止病毒传播的在线教学)。此外，我们通过表明信任游戏中的转移随着目标对社会问题的关心而增加，为这种效应提供了初步的行为证据。所有结果在年龄、性别和社会问题上都是可靠的。为了提供对目标关心水平对感知可信度影响的最佳估计，我们报告了三个小型荟萃分析的结果，包括我们的研究结果以及原始研究的结果。讨论了政策影响。
