{% endif %}Part 2 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. These matching partners are also different from your interaction partners in Part 1.
Every decision situation is presented in the same way as the example situation depicted in Figure 1.
| You | Other | |
|---|---|---|
| Distribution X | 330 | 870 |
| Distribution Y | 420 | 780 |
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: If, in the example situation, you choose Distribution X, you earn 330 points and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} matching partner earns 870 points.
Determination of Earnings
If Part 2 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.
Important: When you make your decisions, you do not know which decision situation is selected to determine your final earnings. Therefore, you should consider every decision situation to be equally important and make your decisions accordingly!
