A study from the University of British Columbia showed that individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds are perceived as more trustworthy than those from wealthier upbringings. The research involved 1,900 participants playing trust games with profiles of individuals from different economic backgrounds. Findings suggested that perceptions of trust are influenced by a person's upbringing, insinuating that presenting a humble background may foster greater trust in social interactions. Dr. Kristin Laurin emphasized the importance of trust for relationships and the need for individuals to navigate perceptions strategically based on their financial histories.
People who grew up with less money were generally seen as more moral and trustworthy than those from wealthier backgrounds, according to a new study.
Trust is essential for healthy relationships, but how people decide to trust someone often hinges on their background, particularly socioeconomic status.
