“…A recent neuropsychoeconomic model of trust propensity argues that trustors promote their trust in trustees through a calculus‐based trust strategy, that is, economic (executive functions) and social (social cognition) rationality strategies, by reducing the risk of treachery (affect) in a one‐shot TG (Krueger & Meyer‐Lindenberg, 2019 ). Previous studies have demonstrated that the decision‐making of trust in older adults is associated with affect (Chen & Zhu, 2021 ) and social cognition (Chen & Wang, 2015 ; Fareri et al, 2022 ) and that they tend to rely more on social rationality when making trust decisions (Telga & Lupianez, 2021 ). However, little is known about the relationship between trust propensity and executive functions (decreasing with age) in older adults.…”

A recent neuropsychoeconomic model of trust propensity argues that an individual uses economic (executive functions) and social (social cognition) rationality strategies to transform the risk of treachery (affect) into positive expectations of reciprocity, promoting trust in another person. Previous studies have shown that the trust of older adults is associated with affect and social cognition. However, little is known about the intrinsic functional connectivity correlated with trust propensity or whether trust propensity is associated with executive functions in older adults. In this study, we examined the association between trust propensity (measured by a one‐shot trust game [TG]), social preference (measured by a one‐shot dictator game), and executive functions (measured by a battery of neuropsychological tests). We also performed connectome‐based predictive modeling (CPM) and computational lesion analysis to identify the key large‐scale resting‐state functional connectivity (RSFC) underlying the prediction of trust propensity. Our behavioral results showed a lower trust propensity in older adults in our study than in younger adults in a previous meta‐analysis. Furthermore, trust propensity was associated with social preference, but there was no significant relationship between trust propensity and executive functions. The neuroimaging results showed that the cingulo‐opercular network (CON) and the default mode network (DMN), rather than the frontoparietal network (FPN), significantly contributed to the prediction of trust propensity in older adults. Our findings suggest that older adults rely less on economic rationality (executive functions, associated with FPN) in trust games. Rather, they are likely to depend more on social rationality (social cognition, associated with social preference and DMN) to resolve the risk of treachery (affect, associated with CON) in trust dilemmas. This study contributes to a better understanding of the neural underpinnings of older adults' trust propensity.

“…Social function is the psychological and social resource that refers to an individual’s ability to interact with others in society and includes a broad range of social characteristics concerning social roles ( Chen and Wang, 2015 ). Social function is an important indicator of the mental and physical health for older adults that influences disability and mortality rates in older adults ( Holt-Lunstad et al, 2017 ).…”

ObjectivesSocial function is an important indicator for physical and psychological health of older adults. However, there is a lack of a standardized questionnaire for measuring social function of older adults. This study developed a questionnaire to assess Chinese older adults’ social function.MethodsWe used three samples (N = 2,257 aged ≥60 years) to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire.ResultsBased on exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses with two samples, the final version of Social Function Questionnaire for Chinese Older Adults (SFQCOA) contained three dimensions with 12 items: social support, social adaptation, and social engagement. Criterion validity test with the third sample showed that SFQCOA was positively related to the healthy indices and negatively related to the unhealthy indices.ConclusionThe validity and reliability of the questionnaire reach the requirements of psychometric standards, suggesting it is an effective tool for measuring social function of older adults.
