{% if player.randomized_order == 123 or player.randomized_order == 132 %} Part 1 {% endif %} {% if player.randomized_order == 213 or player.randomized_order == 312 %} Part 2 {% endif %} {% if player.randomized_order == 231 or player.randomized_order == 321 %} Part 3 {% endif %} consists of 32 decision situations, including 16 interactive decision situations. In every interactive decision situation, you have to choose between two options.

The outcome of the interactive decision situation is determined by your choice and the choice of a {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} matching partner, here referred to as an interaction partner. In every interactive decision situation, you are randomly matched with a different interaction partner. {% if player.randomized_order == 213 or player.randomized_order == 231 or player.randomized_order == 321 %} These interaction partners are also different from your matching partners in {% if player.randomized_order == 213 %} Part 1. {% endif %} {% if player.randomized_order == 231 %} Part 1. {% endif %} {% if player.randomized_order == 321 %} Part 2. {% endif %} {% endif %}

Every interactive decision situation is depicted in a table that looks like the following example table:


L R
U {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} Red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} Blue {% endif %} {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} Blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} Red {% endif %} {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} Red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} Blue {% endif %} {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} Blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} Red {% endif %} {% endif %}
{% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} Blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} Red {% endif %} {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} Red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} Blue {% endif %} {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} Blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} Red {% endif %} {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} Red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} Blue {% endif %} {% endif %}

Table 1: Conceptual Example


In the interactive decision situations, the words "blue" and "red" are substituted by numbers, indicating the number of points you and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner can earn with your choices.

{% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %}

Throughout this part of the experiment, you are the ROW PLAYER. You can choose either row UP ("U") or row DOWN ("D"). Your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner is the COLUMN PLAYER. He or she can choose either column LEFT ("L") or column RIGHT ("R").

{% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %}

Throughout this part of the experiment, you are the COLUMN PLAYER. You can choose either column LEFT ("L") or column RIGHT ("R"). Your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner is the ROW PLAYER. He or she can choose either row UP ("U") or row DOWN ("D").

{% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %}

Every possible combination of choices of the ROW PLAYER (you) and the COLUMN PLAYER (your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner) selects one cell in the table. Every cell contains two numbers. The number at the bottom of the cell represents the earnings of the ROW PLAYER (you). The number at the top of the cell represents the earnings of the COLUMN PLAYER (your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner).

{% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %}

Every possible combination of choices of the COLUMN PLAYER (you) and the ROW PLAYER (your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner) selects one cell in the table.

{% endif %}
L R
U {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 850 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 1040 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 1040 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 850 {% endif %}
{% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 1040 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 850 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 410 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 600 {% endif %}
D {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 600 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 410 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 410 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 600 {% endif %}
{% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 850 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 1040 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 600 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 410 {% endif %}

Table 2: Numerical Example


Example: If, in the numerical example, you choose {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} D {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} R {% endif %} and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner chooses {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} L, {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} U, {% endif %} you earn 850 points and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner earns 600 points.

Bear in mind that you cannot directly choose a cell in the table, but only one of the {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} rows, {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} columns, {% endif %} and that you have to make your choice without knowing the choice of your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner. You are informed about the choices that you and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partners make, as well as the corresponding outcomes, only after the experiment.
