You are asked to read the instructions for the "Choose-a-Project" task completed by other participants on Prolific. After you finish reading the instructions, we would like to ask you a few questions about the choices made by the other participants.

{% endif %}
The Roles

In this task three participants, also recruited on Prolific, are randomly matched in a group. Their identity will remain anonymous to one another. The three participants are randomly assigned one of three possible roles: Player A, Player B or Player C.

Player B is asked to make a choice that will affect the earnings of all three participants in the group. Player A and C have no choice to make.

{% if player.id_in_group == 1 and not Constants.base_pilot %} You are assigned to the role of Player A. You will be matched with two real Prolific participants. You may send a message to the experimenter via Prolific if you wish to verify the results. {% elif player.id_in_group == 2 and not Constants.base_pilot %} You are assigned to the role of Player B. You will be matched with two real Prolific participants. You may send a message to the experimenter via Prolific if you wish to verify the results. {% endif %}
