We judge trustworthiness in a tenth of a second - and then keep updating

A review of face-perception research shows people form a trustworthiness impression from a face in as little as 100 milliseconds, and it colours what comes next. But the same work shows these snap judgments are weak predictors and get revised by behaviour. The first impression opens the door; what you actually do decides whether it stays open.

This is a short takeaway in our own words, not a reproduction of the study. For the method, the sample and the caveats, read the original. Mind lives inside the Booking Minds app under the brain icon, where you can save and share each piece.

Trust, checked before a meeting is paid.

On Booking Minds, people who get paid for a meeting have passed an ID check first, and the money waits for the meeting itself. The amount is held when you offer, charged when they accept and released by a QR scan at the meeting. The person paid keeps 85%, with no payout minimum.
