摘要：

Could altruism explain observed choices in the standard trust game? With dominant altruism, trustors would give more to poor trustees. However, we find trustors to give no more to poor than to rich trustees, confirming trust as the dominant motivation for "trust like" choices. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
