This blog by Paul Zak (I read his blog regularly) asserts that the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography showed that people with dogs are judged to be more trustworthy. Paul offers that Dogs are completely dependent as pets and someone who keeps a dog is dependable hence trustworthy. He goes on to explain that oxytocin response leads to reciprocal rewards. Here is the complete posting
I have a dog and yet I don’t consider myself that trustworthy. The analysis by Mr. Zak reeks of bullcrap. After all, he’s a dog owner himself.
“Trustworthy people consider themselves untrustworthy” - old Kazakh saying.
People who do it doggy style most trustworthy of all. Woof woof
