In this section, you will learn the rules of the games you'll play in Part 2, including how to interpret the payoff tables.

To progress to Part 2, where you'll earn payments for your decisions, you must pass a quiz based on these rules. You will have 3 attempts to answer each question in the quiz. If you fail a question 3 times, you will not be able to continue with the rest of the experiment.

If you have questions about the rules or need clarification during the experiment, please raise your hand, and an experimenter will assist you.If you have questions about the rules or need clarification during the experiment, please raise your hand, and an experimenter will assist you.

Payoff Tables

The games involve strategic interaction: each player's payoff is influenced not only by their own choices but also by the choices of their opponent. Let's look at an example of a typical payoff table:

This table displays Player 2's potential payoffs.
These payoffs depend on both Player 2's and Player 3's choices.
The rows list Player 2's 4 possible actions (A2, B2, C2, D2).
The columns list Player 3's 4 possible actions (A3, B3, C3, D3).
Each cell represents Player 2's payoff under a unique combination of choices from Players 2 and 3.

For instance, the colored row indicates that when Player 2 choose A2, he has 4 possible payoffs (1, 2, 3, 4), the outcome will depend on Player 3's choice.

The colored column indicates that when Player 3 choose A3, Player 2 also has 4 possible payoffs (1, 8, 9, 16), the outcome will depend on his own choice.

The number "1" with a red border indicates Player 2's payoff is "1" when Player 3 choose A3 and Player 2 choose A2.
