A dataset of impression-based trust behavior in children, adolescents and adults

The present study examined trustworthiness impressions among Chinese children, adolescents, and adults. Participants played an economic trust game with “partners” who varied in face trustworthiness (trustworthy vs. untrustworthy appearance, preselected by an independent sample in a pilot study), age (young vs. older adults), and gender (men vs. women). They also explicitly rated how trustworthy each partner appeared.
