Abstract
In a series of studies, participants’ attention was incidentally cued to one of two faces before deciding whom to trust in a partner choice game. We found that attention influenced trust decisions irrespective of facial characteristics, but attentional effects were weakened with distrust framing and strengthened with ingroup membership.
