Trust is a tricky business. On the one hand, it's a necessary condition for many worthwhile things such as child care or friendships. On the other hand, (put) your faith in the wrong place often carries a high price.
Then, why do we trust at all? Well, because it feels good. people place their trust in an individual or an institution, their brains release oxytocin, a hormone that produces pleasurable feelings and triggers the herding instruction that leads sheep to flock together for safety and prompts humans (connect) with one another.
Swiss Scientists have found that exposure this hormone puts us in a trusting mood: In a study, researchers sprayed oxytocin (催产素) into the noses of half the subjects; those subjects were ready to lend significantly (high) amounts of money to strangers than were their counterpartsinhaled something else.
Lucky for us, we also have a sixth sense for dishonesty that protect us. A Canadian study found that children as young as 14 months can differentiate between a credible person and a dishonest . Sixty toddlers were each introduced to an adult tester holding a plastic container. The tester would ask, "What's in here?" before looking into the container, smiling, and exclaiming, "Wow!" Each subject was then invited to look inside. Half of them found a toy; the other half discovered the container was empty-and realized the tester (fool) them.
Among the children who had not been tricked, the majority were willing to cooperate with the tester in learning a new skill, demonstrating that they trusted his leadership. In contrast, only five of the 30 children (pair) with the "inflexible" tester participated in a follow-up activity.
