General
Trust and Individual Differences on the Wason Selection Task with
Sharing-Rule
K. Hiraishi, J. Ando, Y Ono, & T Hasegawa |
On
the Wason selection task with the Sharing-rule, there are three major
response patterns; 1) to select those cards that detect resource-provider's
non-cooperation to in-group, 2) to select those cards that detect
resource-provider's failure to exclude out-group parasitism, and
3) to select the cards that detect both types of rile violation.
We examined the relationship between the individual differences on
the Sharing-rule Wason selection task and the participants' general
trust level. Results showed lower general trusters tended to select
the cards that detect resource-provider's failure to exclude out-group
parasitism. The higher general trusters showed a tendency to select
only the cards that detect non-cooperation by resource-provider.
These results suggest that individual differences on social rule
reasoning are related to respondents' perception, cognition, and
attitude towards the social world. Key words: Wason selection task, general trust, reasoning on social rule, individual differences |
