Thank you for participating in this study.
This is an experiment about decision making. There are other people from the US participating in this study online. Some of the other online participants are in your team. All participants have been assigned to an anonymized team of 3. No participant knows the identity of their team members, only the research team knows the Prolific IDs of all team members.


On the next page, you will go over instructions for the task you have to complete. This will be followed by a practice round, and then the first main round. The first round is related to a second round.


In this part of the experiment your task is to count zeros in a series of tables. The figure shows the work screen you will use later.


Enter the number of zeros into the box on the right side of the screen. After you have entered the number, click the Submit-button. You only get one try to enter the correct number - so a new table will be generated as soon as you press submit. If you submitted the first attempt, you will see the heading of the table change to "Iteration 2", and so on for future attempts. Your bonus payment depends on your performance. You will receive £0.10 for every correct grid you answer as a part of the task. You will receive £2.34 irrespective of your performance, as long as you complete the full experiment.


The earnings of this part of the experiment will be paid to you once your submission has been approved. You will receive the payment in less than 24 hours. If you miscount a table, you do not lose any money. Before you begin the main first round, you will go through a 4 minute practice round. You can solve as many tables as you wish in 4 minutes. The remaining time is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the screen.


Note: It may take a few seconds to be able to submit after you enter a number in the space below the grid. Please be patient while this happens - you can hover the cursor over the Submit button so that you can press it as soon as it's available.
