YOGYAKARTA Researchers have recently explored the personality and trustworthy nature. A kind and friendly person, turned out to be chosen by many as a trustworthy person.

According to Olga Stavrova and colleagues from the University of Tilburg, perceptions of other people's personalities affect whether you like them or not. Hospitality or kindness is one of the properties they think is very important. The hospitality, according to the Dutch author, reported by Psychology Today, Sunday, October 1, is an extra quality that is considered to make life fun and finish something.

Susan Krauss Whitebourne, Ph.D., professor of psychology and Brain Sciences at the University of Massachusetts, reviewed the study of these two personalities. She cited research from the University of Tilburg that extraversions could be value plus or minus. But consistent hospitality supports perceptions of trustworthy nature.

The experimental study conducted by Sovrova assessed the feasibility of prospective partners based on extraversion individuals. Researchers divided participants into two groups. They are asked to play a 'trust game' that refers to trust will produce results if other parties want to work together. Findings from this study, participants who give the impression of being friendly are not because extraversion are considered trustworthy and have a higher level of goodness.

Learning from the study, Whitebourne explained how the researchers' findings can be implemented in everyday life. If you want to be selected by others because you can be trusted, then being good is an important attribute rather than performing brilliantly. In addition, you may be more comfortable and trust each other with someone who looks cooperative and fun. If friendliness looks sincere, it might make you choose correctly.

Hospitality and kindness are not immediately accepted and then make people around you better trust you. But it turns out, Whitebourne explains, the quality of kindness leads to trustworthy nature. Good people care about how you feel. They also want and like to help, have warmth, and build group solidarity. Even trust plays a role in the early development of life.

As psychologist Erik Erikson puts forward, personality development will start better with infants and children who feel that adults in their lives care about their welfare. In short, many people answer the question 'Who do you trust?' with 'good people'. Most likely, the best people who will help you get the satisfaction of life.
