{% block title %} Experimental Instructions {% endblock %} {% block content %}

In this experiment, you will be asked to choose between boxes. There are 200 boxes, 100 of them are golden, and another 100 are wooden. Each box also contains a number of balls of different colors, with the composition specified below.

Below is a graphical illustration of the experimental set-up:

{% if player.treatment == 'sym' %} {% elif player.treatment == 'asy' %} {% elif player.treatment == 'amb' %} {% endif %}

Payment

In this experiment, you will be tasked to choose between boxes. One of your tasks, which has been determined randomly, has been selected for payment. If the box you chose for that task is a golden box, then you will earn a bonus payment of $10, if it is a wooden box, then you will not earn a bonus payment. Since you do not know which task is selected for payment, you should choose for each task as if it were the one chosen for payment. At the end of the experiment, we will reveal to you the task chosen for payment as well as the type of box you chose for that task.

Your payment is therefore derived from two components:

  1. An hourly rate of $8/hr for completing the survey. (We expect the survey to take 10min, so $1.5 approximately)
  2. A payment from one of your tasks which pays $10 if your chosen box is golden.

We will proceed with showing you an example of a choice before the experiment.
