Emerging Adults’ Well-Being Is Predicted By Trust in Others and Their Fathers (But Not Mothers)

Poster Session IV

Keyword: Trust

Abstract: We examined how college students’ trust in others and their parents predict their self-esteem, self-efficacy, and life satisfaction. Students’ judgments of others as trustworthy, willingness to trust others, and trust in their fathers predicted high scores on two outcomes each. Students’ trust in their mothers predicted no outcomes.
