Abstract
Trust is widely regarding as being foundational in human relationships. The violation of interpersonal trust results in a range of negative affective, cognitive and behavioural consequences for the injured party. Research has yet to isolate the specific neural areas and mechanisms activated when different types of interpersonal trust are breached. Using electroencephalogram, we tracked the effects of three distinct types of trust violations, ability violation, integrity violation and benevolence violations, on brain activation. Our results identify the significance of the default mode network (DNM) in trust violation and further isolated distinct activation patterns for ability, integrity and benevolence trust violation. These findings highlight the importance of the DMN in processing cues regarding the trustworthiness of others and the distinctiveness of the processing of violation cues of the three facets of trustworthiness.
