Abstract

In five experiments, we investigate how the market mindset affects interpersonal trust and the psychological mechanisms behind it. Market mindset (vs. communal mindset) reduces trust (E1&E2), and it is due to enhanced proportional thinking (E3) and reduced state empathy (E4), two mechanisms that psychological mechanisms are relatively independent (E5).
