People with more difficult lives tend to be more gullible.
According to a University of Leicester study, people who had a difficult life in childhood and adolescence are actually more likely to be misled than people who’d lived sheltered lives. According to researchers, rather than toughening people up, adverse experiences actually conditioned them to distrust their own judgment (having learned to associate their decisions with negative outcomes). According to the study, 70% of the variation in peoples’ gullibility is influenced in part by their past negative experiences.
