Perceptual judgments are resistant to the advisor's perceived level of trustworthiness: A deep fake approach.

ABSTRACT: As we navigate our environment, we frequently make spontaneous judgments about other's characteristics. Trustworthiness is a particularly important trait, often judged instantly and used to guide decisions, especially in uncertain situations. Although the impact of trustworthiness on social behaviour is well-documented, its influence on more fundamental cognitive processes, such as perceptual decision-making, remains unclear. The present study aims to fill this gap. In the first experiment (N =  100), we validated a new trustworthiness manipulation by applying deep fake technology to create animated versions of perceptually trustworthy, untrustworthy, and neutral static computer-generated faces. In the second experiment (N =  199), the deep fake procedure was applied to a new set of trustw
