{% endif %}{% if player.randomized_order == 21 %} Part 1 {% endif %} {% if player.randomized_order == 12 %} Part 2 {% endif %} consists of 39 decision situations. 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 == 12 %} These matching partners are also different from your interaction partners in Part 1. {% endif %}
Every decision situation is presented in a similar way as the example situation depicted in Figure 1.
| You | Other | |
|---|---|---|
| Distribution X | 410 | 720 |
| Distribution Y | 790 | 180 |
Figure 1. Example Situation
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: In the example situation, if you choose Distribution X, you earn 410 points and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} matching partner earns 720 points. If you choose Distribution Y, you earn 790 points and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} matching partner earns 180 points.
