Your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} matching partner has to complete a number of decision situations, in each of which he or she is randomly matched with a different matching partner. In one of these decision situations, your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} matching partner is matched with you.

In this decision situation, your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} matching partner has to choose between two distributions, named Distribution X and Distribution Y. Every distribution allocates a certain number of points to your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} matching partner (presented to him or her as "You") and a certain number of points to you (presented to your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} matching partner as "Other").

Three examples of such decision situations - from the perspective of your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} matching partner - are depicted in Figure 1.

Important: Note that in these example situations, "You" refers to your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} matching partner and "Other" refers to you.


You Other
Distribution X 140 870
Distribution Y 520 870

You Other
Distribution X 600 790
Distribution Y 600 410

You Other
Distribution X 800 510
Distribution Y 940 150

Figure 1. Example Situations


You and your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} matching partner earn the number of points that correspond to your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} matching partner's chosen distribution. You do not make any decisions in this part of the experiment.

Example: If, in the last example situation, your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} matching partner chooses Distribution X, your {% if player.colors_reversed == 0 %} blue {% endif %} {% if player.colors_reversed == 1 %} red {% endif %} matching partner earns 800 points and you earn 510 points.

Determination of Earnings
Your potential bonus payment is determined by the number of points you earned in the decision situation.
