This is what is called an individual choice experiment. That means that your choices only affect your own payment.

You will receive a wage for each task completed and each round of the experiment will require you to complete {{C.NUM_TASKS}} tasks.
In the first round, you start with a wage of {{C.INITIAL_WAGE}}. There is no choice in round one.
In each additional round, you have the choice of remaining at the wage from the previous round, choosing a wage {{C.RAISE}} higher, or returning to your round 1 wage of {{C.INITIAL_WAGE}}.

There are {{C.NUM_ROUNDS}} rounds in the experiment. At the end of each round, you will see:
