目标信任是成功的社会交往在整个生命周期的关键。感知者年龄、面部年龄和面部情绪已被证明会影响可信度感知，但这些感知者和面部特征之间复杂的相互作用尚未得到研究。方法采用成人终生发展方法，199名成年人（年龄在22-78岁之间）对不同年龄段的脸的可信度进行了评估（年轻，中年和老年人）和情绪（中性，快乐，悲伤，恐惧，愤怒和厌恶）从面孔寿命Database.ResultsThe研究产生了三个关键结果。首先，在一个汇总的水平上，面部可信度感知没有不同的感知者年龄。第二，所有的感知者都认为年轻的面孔最值得信赖，而中年和老年人（但不是年轻人）的感知者认为老年人的面孔最不值得信赖。第三，面部表情信号的威胁（恐惧，愤怒和厌恶）相对于中性，快乐，悲伤的表情缓和年龄对面部可信度perception.DiscussionFindings从这项研究中突出的影响perceptor和面部特征对面部可信度的看法在成年和老龄化，并有可能告知第一印象的形成，与特质归因和行为的影响。该出版物还为FACES寿命数据库提供了关于感知面部可信度的规范性数据。
ObjectivesTrust is crucial for successful social interaction across the life span. Perceiver age, facial age, and facial emotion have been shown to influence trustworthiness perception, but the complex interplay between these perceiver and facial characteristics has not been examined.MethodAdopting an adult life-span developmental approach, 199 adults (aged 22–78 years) rated the trustworthiness of faces that systematically varied in age (young, middle-aged, and older) and emotion (neutral, happy, sad, fearful, angry, and disgusted) from the FACES Lifespan Database.ResultsThe study yielded three key results. First, on an aggregated level, facial trustworthiness perception did not differ by perceiver age. Second, all perceivers rated young faces as the most trustworthy, and middle-aged and older (but not young) perceivers rated older faces as least trustworthy. Third, facial emotions signaling threat (fear, anger, and disgust) relative to neutral, happy, and sad expressions moderated age effects on facial trustworthiness perception.DiscussionFindings from this study highlight the impact of perceiver and facial characteristics on facial trustworthiness perception in adulthood and aging and have potential to inform first impression formation, with effects on trait attributions and behavior. This publication also provides normative data on perceived facial trustworthiness for the FACES Lifespan Database.
