{% endif %}The experiment consists of a number of decision situations. In every decision situation, you have to choose between two options. The outcome of the decision situation is determined by your choice and the choice of your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} interaction partner.
Every decision situation is presented in a similar way as the example situation depicted in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Example Situation
In the decision situations, the numbers indicate the number of points you and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} interaction partner can earn with your choices.
{% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %}You are the COLUMN PARTICIPANT. You can choose either column LEFT ("L") or column RIGHT ("R"). Your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% 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 == 1 %}You are the ROW PARTICIPANT. You can choose either row UP ("U") or row DOWN ("D"). Your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% 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 == 0 %}Every possible combination of choices of the COLUMN PARTICIPANT (you) and the ROW PARTICIPANT (your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% 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 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} interaction partner).
{% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %}Every possible combination of choices of the ROW PARTICIPANT (you) and the COLUMN PARTICIPANT (your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% 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 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} interaction partner).
{% endif %}Example: If, in the example situation, you choose {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} L {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} U {% endif %} and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} interaction partner chooses {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} U, {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} L, {% endif %} you earn 420 points and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} interaction partner earns 420 points. If you choose {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} R {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} D {% endif %} and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} interaction partner chooses {% if player.roles_reversed == 0 %} D, {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} R, {% endif %} you earn 780 points and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% 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 %} columns, {% endif %} {% if player.roles_reversed == 1 %} rows, {% endif %} and that you have to make your choice without knowing the choice of your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} interaction partner. Similarly, your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} interaction partner has to make his or her choice without knowing yours.
