Interpersonal trust is essential for societal well-being, underpinning relationships from individuals to institutions. Neuroscience research on trust has advanced swiftly since 2001. While quantitative reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical frameworks have effectively synthesized trust neuroscience research, bibliometric analysis remains underutilized. Our bibliometric analysis aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of trust neuroscience's current state and future directions by examining its historical development, key contributors, geographic distribution, methodological paradigms, influential works, thematic trends, and overall impact. This field has been characterized by the input of a few key contributors through international collaboration, with significant contributions from the U.S., China, the Netherlands, and Germany. Research predominantly utilizes the trust game and fMRI, with a rising focus on neural networks, general trust, and differentiating behavioral from attitudinal trust. Integrating insights from psychology, economics, and sociology, this interdisciplinary field holds promise for advancing our understanding of trust through a neurobiological lens. In conclusion, our bibliographic literature review provides valuable insights and guidance for scholars, spotlighting potential avenues for further investigation in this fast-growing field.
人际信任对社会福祉至关重要，它支撑着从个人到机构的各种关系。自2001年以来，关于信任的神经科学研究迅速发展。虽然定量综述、元分析和理论框架有效地综合了信任神经科学研究，但文献计量分析的作用仍未得到充分发挥。我们的文献计量分析旨在通过考察信任神经科学的历史发展、主要贡献者、地理分布、方法范式、有影响力的著作、主题趋势和总体影响，全面概述其当前状况和未来方向。该领域的特点是通过国际合作，少数关键贡献者发挥了重要作用，其中美国、中国、荷兰和德国贡献显著。研究主要采用信任博弈和功能磁共振成像，并且越来越关注神经网络、一般信任以及区分行为信任和态度信任。这个跨学科领域整合了心理学、经济学和社会学的见解，有望通过神经生物学视角增进我们对信任的理解。总之，我们的文献综述为学者提供了有价值的见解和指导，突出了这个快速发展领域中进一步研究的潜在途径。
