AB - The present study examined the influence of informants' age in selective trust among Korean preschoolers. Korean culture values relational harmony with an emphasis on respect for the elderly and those with higher family/social status. By comparison, western cultures value horizontal relationships and equality. Therefore, Korean preschoolers might be influenced more by the informant’s age in their selective trust unlike American preschoolers. We examined this by presenting accurate peer and inaccurate adult informant to children. When the two informants proposed different names for the new objects, 4 and 5-year-olds followed the accurate peer informant more than the adult. 3-year-old children were at chance in accepting the labels from either informant. However, when 3-year-olds saw two adult informants (accurate and inaccurate), only girls were able to choose a more reliable informant. These results suggest that the informant’s age affect children differently in the younger group, and also that its effect may be related to gender differences.
