Social neuroscience evidence for dehumanised perception (2009, background): “…direct input from the thalamus (a relay station in the brain), and from its seat in temporal cortex, projects to almost all of the brain directly or indirectly, and tracks trustworthiness judgements (Engell et al., 2007;Winston et al., 1998) and implicit bias (Phelps et al., 2000), for example.”
Trust in Automation (2015, background): “Engell, Haxby, and Todorov (2007) used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to show that the amygdala (a portion of the brain located in the medial temporal lobe) is utilized during rapid evaluations of the trustworthiness of human faces.”
The brain basis of emotion: A meta-analytic review (2012, unknown): “…studies show that amygdala activation is necessary for detecting distrust, and when the amygdala is deactivated or impaired, individuals are more likely to infer trustworthiness and benign attributes in others (e.g., Adolphs et al. 1998; Engell et al. 2007; Winston et al. 2002; Zald 2003).”
A neural mechanism of first impressions (2009, unknown): “In the social domain, the amygdala has been implicated in judgments of trustworthines”
The functional basis of face evaluation (2008, background): “However, it should be noted that the dimensional model is most applicable to implicit face evaluation where no specific evaluative context is provided (14).”
EvaluaTiNg faCES ON TruSTwOrThiNESS afTEr miNimal TimE ExpOSurE (2009, background): “For example, in Engell et al. (2007), participants ostensibly par- ticipated in a face memory task.”
Morality and intergroup relations: Threats to safety and group image predict the desire to interact with outgroup and ingroup members☆ (2013, result): “These findings corroborate and extend previous research arguing for the critical role of morality in shaping the sentiment of security (see also Todorov et al., 2009; Engell et al., 2007).”
Implicit race attitudes predict trustworthiness judgments and economic trust decisions (2011, unknown): “Supporting this, the amygdala, a subcortical group of nuclei involved in automatic processing of emotional stimuli and fear learning (18), has been implicated in both trustworthiness evaluations (3, 4) and the expression of race-related implicit biases (19–21) [although it is not necessary for the b”
