Changing Minds, Gaining Trust: The Social Norm of Evidence-Based Attitude Shifts

Poster Session XI

Keyword: Trust

Abstract: This research demonstrates that individuals value those who change their minds in response to counter-attitudinal information. People express greater trust in those who adjust their views, particularly when the information is objective, compared to those who maintain their original stance. These findings highlight positive social norms around evidence-based attitude change.
