Part 4 consists of 52 decision situations. In every decision situation, you have to choose between two distributions, named Distribution X and Distribution Y.
Just like in Part 2, 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 and matching partners in Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
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.
Important: Just like in Part 3, your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} matching partners have made a choice regarding the number of sliders you and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} matching partner have to complete at the end of the experiment. Note that, before making this slider choice, your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %} matching partners were informed about the type of decision situations you are about to complete.
Determination of Earnings
If Part 4 is selected to determine your final earnings, the computer randomly selects one of the 52 decision situations.
Your final earnings are then determined by the number of points you earned in the selected decision situation.
Moreover, the number of sliders you have to complete at the end of the experiment is determined by the slider choice of your
{% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} red {% endif %}
{% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} blue {% endif %}
matching partner 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 and the number of sliders you have to complete at the end of the experiment. Therefore, you should consider every decision situation to be equally important and make your decisions accordingly!
Once you are certain that you have understood these instructions, press "Next" to start the decision situations.
