Abstract
Existing literature has explored various intrapersonal outcomes of multicultural experiences but little in interpersonal consequences. The present paper aims to investigate how monocultural people perceive cultural in-group peers’ multicultural experiences as an evaluative cue in trust decisions. Based on social cognitive theory, I argue that individuals’ multicultural experiences positively influence cognition-based and affect-based trust. Based on social identity and similarity attraction theory, I also propose that individuals who highly identifies with their cultural group would affectively trust peers without multicultural experience more than those with such experiences. Two experiments with two different cultural group samples generally supported the hypotheses. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
