AB - The present study investigated the characteristics of informants that affect Korean children’s selection of a more reliable source of information with regard to age, gender, and status. Four and five-year-old children were presented with the pictures of two people contrasted in terms of their age, gender, or status. they were then asked who they expected to have more knowledge and which informant they would prefer to ask the name of a novel object. Overall, 5-year-olds selected adults over children, teachers over parents, showing that they consider age and status in their selective trust. By comparison, 4-year-olds were not affected by these characteristics in choosing a knowledgeable informant. Interestingly, while boys selected teachers as a reliable source over parents, girls’s selective trust was not affected by the status of the informant, suggesting that status is a characteristic that boys tend to consider at an earlier age. These results suggest that the informant’s characteristics may affect the development of selective trust differently according to the child’s age and gender, and that Korean children’s development of selective trust may not follow the same developmental pattern as children studied in the US or Europe.
