People who are high in victim-sensitivity-a personality trait characterized by a strong fear of being exploited by others-are more likely to attend to social cues associated with untrustworthiness rather than to cues associated with trustworthiness compared with people who are low in victim-sensitivity. But how do these people react when an initial expectation regarding a target's trustworthiness turns out to be false? Results from two studies show that victim-sensitive compared with victim-insensitive individuals show enhanced source memory and greater change in person perception for negatively labeled targets that violated rather than confirmed negative expectations (the "trustworthy trickster"). These findings are in line with recent theorizing on schema inconsistency and expectancy violation effects in social cognition and with research on the different facets of justice sensitivity in personality psychology.
具有高受害者敏感性（一种以强烈害怕被他人利用为特征的人格特质）的人，与低受害者敏感性的人相比，更有可能关注与不可信相关的社会线索，而非与可信相关的线索。但是，当对目标可信度的初始期望被证明是错误的时候，这些人会作何反应呢？两项研究的结果表明，与受害者不敏感的个体相比，受害者敏感的个体对违反而非证实负面期望的负面标签目标（“可信的骗子”）表现出增强的源记忆和更大的人物认知变化。这些发现与社会认知中关于图式不一致和期望违背效应的最新理论，以及人格心理学中关于正义敏感性不同方面的研究一致。
