Abstract:
Trust plays an integral role in effective interpersonal and social
functioning. Substantial variances of trust exist, when people act
towards different target, between different individuals, and among
different cultures. In this talk, I will introduce a set of studies
focusing on different aspects of trust, including the following: (1)
The interplay of culture and relational distance on trust. Although it
is a universal pattern that trust declines as the relational distance
with the target increases, the steepness of the decline varies across
culture, in a way that East Asians make clearer distinction between
closer others and strangers, comparing to North Americans, which is
consisting with Yamagishi’s theory of general trust. On the other
hand, China repeatedly demonstrates higher level of general trust than
Japan, which calls for a closer look at the within-East-Asian
comparison. Therefore, I conducted studies about (2) Japan and China
(and US) difference of general trust. Through a few experimental
studies, I investigate the Japan-China-US difference of trust towards
strangers. By manipulating the possibility of expressing one’s trust
towards the counterpart in the experimental game, I explore the effect
of “expectation of reciprocity”, and try to link it with cultural
difference of social networks between Japan and China. I am hoping to
deliver the latest data which is still being collected by the time of
submission of this abstract. From a different angle, I also studied
the consequences of (3) mistrust under inter-group situation. I focus
on the inter-group(national) conflict among Japanese, Chinese and
Americans, and argue that preemptive aggression among countries can
mostly be explained as a mistrust towards each other, rather than
spitefulness.

evolution process and maintenance of cooperation; (3) mistrust and
negative emotion behind the inter-group conflict between US, Japan and
