| Trust is the foundation of harmonious social development and an important cornerstone for establishing good interpersonal relationships.At the same time,trust is also a key component of economic activity,which is regarded by many economists as an important factor in economic growth and institutional development.Therefore,the research on trust has focused on the investigation of influencing factors for decades.However,with the rise of embodied cognition,some researchers explore whether the external environment,physical state and other factors will affect individual trust from the perspective of embodied cognition.Tactile sensation is the earliest feeling that an individual appears in the development process,and humans acquire information through tactile sensation to establish contact with the outside world.Some studies have also found that touching objects with different textures has an impact on people’s evaluation,cognitive judgment and so on.At the same time,it has also been found that individuals trust behaviors are also different.when the individual is touched by others compared with the condition that the individual is not touched.Therefore,this study uses four experiments to explore the impact of the soft and hard touch on the individual trust game.Experiment 1 62 non-psychology majors(55 female students and 7 male students;M =19.46,SD = 1.51)were selected from a university in Chengdu by convenient sampling.examined the impact of the investment game and the public goods game under the condition of active soft and hard touch.A mixed experimental design of two tactile(soft/hard)X 2 task types(classical investment game/public goods game)was adopted.The results show that the main effect of the touch is significant,the amount of individual investment under the soft touch condition is more than the amount of investment under the hard touch condition.the main effect of the task type is significant,under the investment game condition,the amount of individual investment is higher than that under the condition of public goods.Experiment 2 65 non-psychology majors(54 female students and 11 male students;M =20.12,SD = 1.26)were selected from a university in Chengdu by convenient sampling.examines the impact of the investment game and the public goods game under the condition of passive soft and hard touch.The mixed experimental design was adopted as in experiment1.The results show that the main effect of the touch is significant,the amount of individual investment under the soft touch condition is more than the amount of investment under the hard touch condition.The main effect of the task type is significant,under the investment game condition,the amount of individual investment is higher than that under the condition of public goods.Experiment 3 63 non-psychology majors(53 female students and 10 male students;M =19.45,SD = 1.45)were selected from a university in Chengdu by convenient sampling.examines the impact of the active soft and hard touch on the trust game of the winning and losing framework.The results show that the number of individual trust ratios under the soft touch condition is higher than that of the individual under the hard touch condition,and the main effect of the touch is significant;The main effect of the framework type is not significant,and there is no significant difference between the number of trust ratios in the wining f frame trust game and the number of trust ratios in the losing frame trust game.Experiment 4 66 non-psychology majors(59 female students and 7 male students;M =19.75,SD = 1.43)were selected from a university in Chengdu by convenient sampling.examines the influence of the passive soft and hard touch on the trust game of the winning and losing framework.The mixed experimental design was adopted as in experiment 3.The results show that the number of individual trust ratios under the soft touch condition is higher than that of the individual under the hard touch condition,and the main effect of the touch is significant;The main effect of the framework type is not significant,Under the condition of trust game,and there is no significant difference between the number of trust ratios in the winning frame trust game and the number of trust ratios in the losing frame trust game.Through four experiments,the study draws the following conclusions:(1)Under the condition of soft touch,the individual investment is higher than the hard touch condition,that is,there is an embodied effect.(2)under the condition of investment game,The amount of individual investment is higher than the game of public goods,that is to say,there is task difference.(3)There is no significant difference between the number of trust ratios in the winning frame trust game and the number of trust ratios in the losing frame trust game,that is,there is no framework effect.(4)Under soft and hard touch conditions,the influence of active experience and passive experience on individual trust game is consistent. |
