Abstract: Using the methods of implicit processing and implicit memory,the present study investigated whether trustworthiness judgment of faces is automatic.Results in the explicit memory task showed significant effect of trustworthiness on the recall performances with the best and most rapid reaction for the untrustworthy faces.Whereas the implicit memory task showed the comparable results in which the participants also had the best and the most rapid memory for the untrustworthy faces.These findings taking together suggested that the trustworthiness judgment of unfamiliar faces is an automatic process,in which individuals are most sensitive to untrustworthy faces.

Key words: trust judgment, automatic process, face trustworthiness, undergraduate students
