The Theoretical Foundations and Empirical Approaches to the Study of Trust, Deception, and Victimization
Abstract
The article presents a theoretical and empirical study of the phenomena of trust, deception, and victimization within the context of interpersonal interaction. It analyzes contemporary concepts in social, cognitive, and legal psychology that explain the mechanisms of trust formation and its violation through manipulative strategies. A correlation is established between the level of interpersonal trust and the risk of victimization, particularly in cases of fraud. Empirical findings confirm the role of emotional sensitivity, social experience, and personality type in the tendency toward trust and victim behavior. A psychological profile model of a victim-prone personality vulnerable to social manipulation is proposed.
