{% endif %}Part 1 consists of 16 decision situations, including 8 choice situations and 8 estimation situations.
In every choice situation, you have to choose between two options. The outcome of the choice 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 choice situation, you are randomly matched with a different interaction partner. In other words, you will never meet the same interaction partner more than once.
Every choice situation is presented in a similar way as the example situation depicted in Figure 1.
| L | R | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| U | {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 420 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 420 {% endif %} | {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 330 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 330 {% endif %} | |||
| {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 420 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 420 {% endif %} | {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 870 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 870 {% endif %} | ||||
| D | {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 870 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 870 {% endif %} | {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 780 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 780 {% endif %} | |||
| {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 330 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 330 {% endif %} | {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} 780 {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} 780 {% endif %} | ||||
Figure 1. Example Situation
In the choice situations, the numbers indicate 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 %}You are the ROW PARTICIPANT. 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 PARTICIPANT. He or she can choose either column LEFT ("L") or column RIGHT ("R").
{% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %}You are the COLUMN PARTICIPANT. 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 PARTICIPANT. 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 PARTICIPANT (you) and the COLUMN PARTICIPANT (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 PARTICIPANT (you). The number at the top of the cell represents the earnings of the COLUMN PARTICIPANT (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 PARTICIPANT (you) and the ROW PARTICIPANT (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 top of the cell represents the earnings of the COLUMN PARTICIPANT (you). The number at the bottom of the cell represents the earnings of the ROW PARTICIPANT (your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner).
{% endif %}Example: If, in the example situation, you choose {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} U {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} L {% 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 420 points and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner earns 420 points. If 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 %} R, {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} D, {% endif %} you earn 780 points and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner earns 780 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. Similarly, your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} interaction partner has to make his or her choice without knowing yours.
