In every decision situation, you have to choose between two distributions, named Distribution X and Distribution Y.
Every distribution allocates a certain number of points to you ("You") and a certain number of points to a {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} matching partner ("Other"). In every decision situation, you are randomly matched with a different matching partner. {% if player.randomized_order == 123 or player.randomized_order == 132 or player.randomized_order == 312 %} These matching partners are also different from your interaction partners in {% if player.randomized_order == 123 %} Part 1. {% endif %} {% if player.randomized_order == 132 %} Part 1. {% endif %} {% if player.randomized_order == 312 %} Part 2. {% endif %} {% endif %}
Every decision situation is depicted in a table that looks like the following example table:
| You | Other | |
|---|---|---|
| Distribution X | 1040 | 410 |
| Distribution Y | 850 | 600 |
Table 1: Numerical Example
In every decision situation, you and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} matching partner earn the number of points that correspond to your chosen distribution. Your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} matching partners do not make any decisions in this part of the experiment.
Example: If, in the numerical example, you choose Distribution X, you earn 1040 points and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} matching partner earns 410 points.
Determination of Earnings:

{% if player.randomized_order == 123 or player.randomized_order == 321 %} Part 2 {% endif %}
{% if player.randomized_order == 132 or player.randomized_order == 312 %} Part 3 {% endif %}
is selected to determine your final earnings, the computer randomly selects one of the 39 decision situations.
Your final earnings are then determined by the number of points you earned in the selected decision situation.
