  • The Illusion of Trust in AI: Behavioural Differences Between Humans and Large Language Models

    Open AccessYuzhan Hang, Zhenhua Ling et al.ARTICLEHuman Behavior and Emerging…2026

    As artificial intelligence (AI) systems increasingly enter trust‐dependent domains, questions arise about whether their behaviour reflects genuine trustworthiness or merely the illusion of it. This study examined how humans and large language models (LLMs) establish and adjust trust in dynamic social interactions using a 50‐round trust game. Across 100 human participants and three leading LLMs—ChatGPT‐3.5, ChatGPT‐4o and DeepSeek‐V3—we compared t…

    Open AccessYuzhan Hang, Christopher J Soto et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2023

    OBJECTIVE: Personality traits change from childhood through late-adolescence, however the effects of social expectations and self-regulatory efforts remain unknown. This study aims to explore mechanisms underlying personality development by assessing mean levels personality traits from childhood to late-adolescence.

  • Social expectations as a possible mechanism for adult personality change: Limited empirical evidence for the social investment principle

    Open AccessYuzhan Hang, Lydia Gabriela Speyer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2023

    OBJECTIVE: Personality traits change in both mean levels and variance across the life span but the mechanisms underlying these developmental trends remain unclear. Social Investment Principle (SIP) suggests that social expectations drive personality changes in adulthood. Accordingly, we tested whether differences between personality traits in social expectations for them can explain their different change trajectories in young adulthood. METHODS:…

  • Within‐family relations of mental health problems across childhood and adolescence

    Open AccessLydia Gabriela Speyer, Hildigunnur Anna Hall et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2022

    BACKGROUND: While transactional models suggest that parent and child mental health reciprocally influence one another over development, research has largely focused on parent-to-child effects. Additionally, it is not known whether observed associations hold when appropriate statistical tools are used to operationalise within-family dynamics. METHODS: We investigated within-family mental health dynamics using autoregressive latent trajectory model…

  • The role of harsh parenting practices in early- to middle-childhood socioemotional development: An examination in the Millennium Cohort Study

    Open AccessLydia Gabriela Speyer, Yuzhan Hang et al.ARTICLEChild Development2022

    Patterson's coercion model describes a gradual escalation in maladaptive parent–child transactions whereby externalizing behaviors lead to increases in maladaptive parenting and vice versa. The current study investigates the role of (predominantly mother-reported) harsh parenting practices in the within-person development of conduct problems, hyperactive/inattentive behaviors, and emotional problems. A random-intercept cross-lagged panel model wa…
