“ Most importantly, when a suspicious mindset is activated, people are more likely to behave uncooperatively and antisocially in order to prevent being exploited”
This makes me wonder… I think I do this but also ‘just ignore exploitation’ prooobably isn’t sustainable. I think the answer is to have strong safeguards in place to exploitation so you can keep it off your mind and be more engaged and trusting, but that’s hard to do.
| “ For people high in victim sensitivity, the possibility that other people harbor mean intentions is highly aversive. This is what makes them more sensitive towards meanness cues. General trust, on the other hand, does not necessarily imply a motivational aspect, and therefore, no particular sensitivity towards cues of other persons’ alleged meanness”
Idk if this is a meaningful idea
