Fig. 2: Longitudinal increase of trusting behaviour as a function of participants’ age.
From: Self-reported childhood family adversity is linked to an attenuated gain of trust during adolescence
Illustration of participants’ mean round-by-round investments in their counterpart (trustee), used as an index of trust, increased with age as well as with longitudinal development. Longitudinal increase in trust (i.e., mean investments) is steepest for the youngest of the sample. For visualisation purposes alone, age is split up into four categories (based on quantiles) in the figure, whereas age entered the statistical model as a continuous regressor. Longitudinal age is mean-centred. The error band shows the standard error of the estimated mean response at each level of age.
