{{ block title }} Questionnaire 1 {{ endblock }} {{ block content }}

Before concluding the experiment, you will complete several questionnaires in which you will have the possibility to earn additional money. We will next ask you and all other participants to evaluate different possible choices one might have made in PART 1 and PART 2 of the experiment.

Specifically, we will describe a choice that a participant in the experiment might have made, and you should decide whether making that choice would be “socially appropriate” and “consistent with moral or proper social behavior” or “socially inappropriate” and “inconsistent with moral or proper social behavior.” By socially appropriate, we mean behavior that most people agree is the “correct” or “ethical” thing to do. Another way to think about what we mean is that, if someone were to make a socially inappropriate choice, then someone observing this behavior might get angry at the person who made the choice for acting in that manner. In each of your responses, we would like you to evaluate what constitutes socially appropriate or inappropriate behavior. To give you an idea, consider the following example.

Your payoff in this questionnaire will be shown to you at the end of the experiment.


Q: Someone is at a local cafe. While there, the person notices that someone has left a wallet at one of the tables. How appropriate would it be to take the wallet?







If this were the situation we asked you about in the study, you would indicate the extent to which you believe taking the wallet would be "socially appropriate" and "consistent with moral or proper social behavior" or "socially inappropriate" and "inconsistent with moral or proper social behavior". Recall that by socially appropriate we mean behavior that most people agree is the "correct" or "ethical" thing to do. For example, suppose you thought that taking the wallet was very socially inappropriate. Then, you would indicate your response by selecting the first box.

For each choice you make, we will compare your response to the response of one other randomly selected participant. If you give the same response as the one provided by the selected other participant, then you will receive an additional $0.5. This amount will be paid to you, along with your other earnings, at the conclusion of the experiment.

For instance, in the example situation above, if your response had been "somewhat socially inappropriate," then you would receive an additional $0.5 if this was also the response provided by another randomly selected participant in today's session. Otherwise you would not receive any additional money for this question.

It is important you remember you will be paid if your decision is the same decision as another randomly selected participant in today's session, rather than what you think is socially appropriate.


Please make your decisions:

1) Suppose that, in PART 2, a Worker rolled a 1 on his or her die. How appropriate would it have been for that Worker to report a higher number than 1, when payments were based on the worker's actions and group members' actions?

2) Suppose that, in PART 2, a Supervisor rolled a 1 on his or her die. How appropriate would it have been for that Supervisor to report a higher number than 1, when payments were based on the supervisor's actions and group members' actions?
