This study examines the underlying factors that drive gender differences in trust and trustworthiness. Is gender difference in trust behavior motivated by variations in social context and gender norms? I study this question by conducting trust experiments in comparable and neighboring matrilineal and patrilineal societies in India. I find that the matrilineal subjects are more trusting than the patrilineal ones, although there is substantial heterogeneity across gender. In the matrilineal society, men are significantly more trusting but no more trustworthy than women, while in the patrilineal society, men are neither more trusting nor more trustworthy than women. My findings thus suggest that societal structure is crucially linked to the observed gender differences in trust and trustworthiness.

是什么驱动了信任和可信度方面的性别差异?

本研究探讨了导致信任和可信度方面性别差异的潜在因素。信任行为的性别差异是否由社会背景和性别规范的变化驱动?我通过在印度类似的和邻近的母系和父系社会中进行信任实验来研究这个问题。我发现母系受试者比父系受试者更信任,尽管性别之间存在很大的异质性。在母系社会,男性明显比女性更值得信任,但并不比女性更值得信赖;而在父系社会,男性既不比女性更值得信赖,也不更值得信赖。因此,我的研究结果表明,社会结构与观察到的信任和可信度方面的性别差异密切相关。
