You will make decisions related to other participants in this study across 25 different scenarios. We will explain how this works in detail below.
There are two type of participants in this study.
Agents participate in one of two tasks:
- We gave the Agents 'words' formed by letters.
In the example above: the 'word' is SVDM.
- Every letter had a 3-digit number assigned, showed in a table.
- The task is to convert the 'word' into a 'code'.
- The 'code' is formed by all digits, with no space between them.
In the example above: the 'code' is 805134640852.
- After each Agent finishes, we count the number of correct answers.
For example: the Agent has 7 correct answers.
- We gave the Agents one random number between 1 and 10, the higher the number the better.
For example: the Agent has lottery number 7.
Agents get a small payment for their participation. They can also get part of a 6 USD bonus.
We put Agents that participated in the same task into pairs: we will call one Agent A and the other Agent B. Each pair gets a 6 USD bonus in total.
There are 25 scenarios. In each scenario the Agents are informed about an initial bonus split, but Spectators can change that.
Spectators decide how to split the bonus payments between Agents for 25 scenarios.
You will be a Spectator.
Your task is to decide how to split the bonus payments between two Agents for 25 scenarios.
You will remain anonymous. No other participant in this study will know what you decide or who you are.
In some of the 25 scenarios you will also be asked to solve a math problem. These math problems are completely unrelated to the previous task, but if you solve them correctly you will receive 0.10 USD as an additional payment.
10 participants assigned to the role of Spectator are matched with every pair of Agents. We will randomly select 1 out of those 10 Spectators. The selected Spectator's choice determines the split between the two Agents.
You will make decisions for 25 scenarios. One of them correspond to a situation that the agents actually go through.
Make your decisions carefully, as they could be the one that determines how much bonus two participants assigned to be Agents get paid.
