An informant's previous accuracy is an important aspect to judge credibility of his information. The current study examined whether young children trust a teacher or a peer when the teacher was inaccurate or when it is uncertain if the teacher is more accurate than the peer. Four- and five-year-olds trusted the peer's labeling of a toy, but not labeling of an object when the teacher was previously inaccurate and the peer was accurate. In this situation, three-year-olds' trust in the peer was at chance level no matter whether the labeling was about toys or usual objects. Interestingly, when the teacher was inaccurate and the peer's accuracy was uncertain, and when the peer was accurate and the teacher's accuracy was uncertain, children in all age groups did not readily trust the peer's labeling regardless of the kind of objects. Alongside the result that four- and five-year-olds might trust a teacher more than a usual adult, cultural emphasis on harmony with social norms, the elderly, and teachers and its possible influence on young children's trust in teachers will be discussed.
