Abstract

This longitudinal study (n=570 adolescents, aged 14–25) investigated the development of trust behavior and the influence of childhood family adversity. Results showed a longitudinal increase in trust from adolescence to young adulthood, attributed to a decrease in social risk aversion. However, self-reported family adversity attenuated this increase, linked to higher 'irritability' in computational models. Unconditional trust predicted peer relationship quality, especially for those with higher family adversity, suggesting trust as a resilience factor.
