Trust and childhood maltreatment: evidence of bias in appraisal of unfamiliar faces / Louise NEIL in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 63-6 (June 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 63-6 (June 2022) . - p.655-662 Titre : Trust and childhood maltreatment: evidence of bias in appraisal of unfamiliar faces Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Louise NEIL, Auteur ; Essi VIDING, Auteur ; Diana ARMBRUSTER-GENC, Auteur ; Matteo LISI, Auteur ; Isabelle MARESCHAL, Auteur ; Georgia RANKIN, Auteur ; Molly SHARP, Auteur ; Harriet PHILLIPS, Auteur ; Jessica RAPLEY, Auteur ; Peter MARTIN, Auteur ; Eamon J.

Although crucial for establishing and maintaining relationships, trust judgements have not been experimentally investigated in children who have experienced abuse and neglect. METHODS: A community-based sample of 75 children aged 8-16 years with maltreatment documented on the basis of social services records, and a group of 70 peers matched on age, gender, cognitive ability, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity took part in the study. Children completed a trustworthiness face-judgement task in which they appraised the trustworthiness of unfamiliar facial stimuli varying along a computationally modelled trustworthiness dimension. RESULTS: In line with clinical observations that childhood maltreatment is associated with an atypical pattern of trust processing, children with maltreatment experience were significantly less likely than their peers to rate unfamiliar faces as trustworthy. Moreover, they were more variable in their trust attributions than their peers. CONCLUSIONS: The study provides compelling experimental evidence that children with documented maltreatment perceive others as less trustworthy than their peers and are less consistent in their estimates of trustworthiness in others. Over time, alterations in trust processing may disrupt the development of social bonds and contribute to 'social thinning' (a reduction in the extent and quality of social relationships), leaving children more vulnerable to environmental stressors, increasing risk of mental health difficulties.

Trust perception in Syrian refugee children / Yulan D. CHEN in Development and Psychopathology, 38-2 (May 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 38-2 (May 2026) . - p.605-616 Titre : Trust perception in Syrian refugee children Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yulan D. CHEN, Auteur ; Lina QTAISHAT, Auteur ; Matteo LISI, Auteur ; Rana DAJANI, Auteur ; Amal EL KHAROUF, Auteur ; Sophie VON STUMM, Auteur ; Kristin HADFIELD, Auteur ; Isabelle MARESCHAL, Auteur ; Julia E. MICHALEK, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.605-616 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Displacement  Refugee children  mental health  trust bias  trust perception Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Trust judgments involve rapidly evaluating others’ appearance and are critical in psychosocial development. Trust biases may be linked to psychopathology risk, particularly in vulnerable, adversity-affected populations, but very little is known about trust perception in refugee context. Here, we measured trust perception of Syrian refugee children (N = 324, Mage = 6.32 years) displaced in Jordan, using a validated trust task with computer-generated faces varying in perceived trustworthiness (data collection: May-August 2021). Mothers (N = 324, Mage = 32.59) reported on child and mothers’ mental health, and mother-child relationship. Child trust perception was not associated with child or mothers’ mental health, or mother-child relationship (all p > .10), but we found age-related changes in perceived trust, with older children reporting faces as less trustworthy than younger children (B = .32, p < .001). Although children’s social judgments might be associated with socio-emotional functioning in non-refugee populations, our results suggest that refugee children’s mental health does not seem to be linked to their perception of trust, and that trusting others might diminish with age in displaced, at-risk children.
