Editorial: Age differences in trust and fraud.

This document is an editorial published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology. The editorial discusses age differences in trust and fraud. It highlights the conflicting research on whether older adults are more vulnerable to fraud victimization than younger adults. The editorial also mentions some potential factors that may contribute to fraud vulnerability in older adults, such as cognitive declines and personality and social factors. The document includes a collection of articles that explore various aspects of fraud susceptibility, including psychosocial determinants, neural and biological mechanisms, and demographic predictors. Overall, the literature on age differences in fraud victimization does not reach a clear consensus, but there are different neural mechanisms for fraud regulation in younger and older adults.
