• There was between-person agreement (consensus) in ratings of avatar trustworthiness.

• Observers were more willing to trust interaction partners with trustworthy appearing avatars.

• However, there was no correlation between perceived avatar trustworthiness and the actual trustworthiness of avatar creators.
