The Predictive Role of Selective Trust on Abduction Resistance in Children Aged 3 to 5 Years:The Moderating Effect of Inhibitory Control
Objective:This study aimed to examine the positive predictive role of children's selective trust ability and the moderating effect of inhibitory control on resisting abduction behavior in a simulated scenario.Methods:A total of 121 preschool children aged 3 to 5 years participated in the study.The abduction resistance test was used to measure the partici-pants'behavior in resisting abductions by strangers.The flank fish task was used to assess inhibitory control,and the clas-sic object naming task was utilized to test selective trust.Results:After controlling for age and gender,the following find-ings were observed:(1)The selective trust ability of children aged 3 to 5 years had a positive predictive effect on resisting abduction behavior(β=0.23,P=0.010).(2)The inhibitory control ability of children aged 3 to 5 years played a negative mod-erating role between selective trust and resisting abduction behavior.As inhibitory control decreased,the positive predictive effect of selective trust on resisting abduction behavior increased.Conclusion:The selective trust of children has a positive impact on resisting abduction behaviors,especially for children with weaker inhibitory control.
