Discussion

This study reveals how groomed and ungroomed appearances affect children's decision-making and epistemic trust.

Children significantly preferred the groomed individual, showing the strong effect of appearance on their trust decisions.
Analysis indicated that younger children relied heavily on superficial cues, while older children sought accuracy-based justifications.
The study involved 662 children aged 4 to 10, demonstrating a developmental shift in how children assess trustworthiness.
Findings underscore the need for educational practices that encourage critical evaluation of information rather than appearance-based judgments.

Kotaman et al. (2025) studied this question.
