Activity reminder:
We presented each probationary officer with a page containing 48 sliders to move on an axis ranging from 0 to 100. The probationary officer had 2 minutes to correctly position as many sliders as possible on the number 50. Each correctly positioned slider earned credits. The probationary officer chose between the following two options to receive
credits: (1) receive 0.2 credits for each slider positioned on 50 or (2) play against an opponent and receive 0.5 credits per slider if the total number of correctly positioned sliders was greater than that of the other player, and receive nothing if it was lower.
In your opinion, on average, what percentage of probationary officers chose the competitive option (with a partner) over the individual play option?
On average, how do you think this percentage differed depending on whether the probationary officer was a woman or a man?
Now, if you could choose an ideal level of comfort with a competitive environment, what percentage of probationary officers would you like to choose the competitive option?
