Instructions

In this experiment, Player A (the employee) and Player B (the employer) form a group. You will be randomly assigned one of the two roles. Participants do not know each other.

At the beginning of the experiment, Player A receives a salary of 120 points, for completing slider tasks. Player B gains points depending on how many tasks Player A completes correctly.

Player A's decision

Player A must decide how many sliders to move to the middle. There are 24 sliders and each of them can only be moved once. Player B gains 5 points for each slider moved correctly by Player A.

Player B's decision

Before Player A begins the task, Player B can decide on a minimum number of sliders Player A has to complete. However Player B can also decide not to force Player A to complete a minimum number, thus leaving Player A free to decide.

Procedure

Step 1: Player B decides whether or not to force Player A to complete a minimum number of sliders

Step 2: Player A chooses the number of sliders they want to move for Player B. Player A will see whether Player B enforces a minimum amount of effort or not.

Payout

After both Players have made their decisions, the experiment is over and payouts are calculated. For your participation in the experiment you will receive at least 0.25 dollars.
