Your Role: Controller

You have been assigned the role of Controller. You do not participate in the game itself (you do not contribute or receive payoffs).

Instead, your task is to oversee the contributions of the participants. In each round, participants are randomly rematched into groups of 4 and play a the same game where they contribute. You might supervise multiple groups of 4 participants each round, depending on the total number of participants in the experiment.

{% if treatment == 'human_judge' %}

Your Task

After participants make their contributions, you will see a list of all players that are assigned to you, organized by their groups. You will see how much each player contributed.

You can assign Deduction Points (0 to 5) to any player. Assigning deduction points has no cost to you.

{% elif treatment == 'humanAI_judge' %}

Your Task

After participants make their contributions, an AI system will analyze them and suggest deduction points for each player based on a fairness rule (deducting under-contributors).

You will see these suggestions. You can accept them or change them to any value between 0 and 5 points. Assigning deduction points has no cost to you.

{% endif %}

Effect of Punishment

When you assign deduction points to a player:

Your own payoff depends on the earnings of all participants assigned to you (before deduction).

{# === SECTION FOR REGULAR PLAYERS === #} {% else %}

You will play {{ C.NUM_ROUNDS }} rounds of the same game. In each round, you will be randomly rematched into groups of 4.

Your payoff from the game is:

Initial Endowment − Your Contribution + {{ mpcr }} × (Sum of Group Contributions)

{# Treatment-specific punishment info #} {% if treatment == 'human_judge' %}

Control Stage

There is a Controller assigned to your group.

After you contribute, the controller sees your contribution and can assign you 0 to 5 deduction points.

{% elif treatment == 'AI_judge' %}

Control Stage

There is an AI Controller (automated rule).

After you contribute, the AI automatically assigns deduction points (0 to 5) based on how much you contributed relative to the average. Under-contributing relative to others leads to higher deduction.

{% elif treatment == 'humanAI_judge' %}

Control Stage

There is a Human Controller assisted by an AI.

An AI suggests deduction points based on your contribution, and the Human Controller can review and adjust these points (0 to 5).

{% endif %} {# Common punishment cost explanation for all judge treatments #} {% if treatment != 'no_judge' %}

Cost of deduction:

Final Payoff = Initial Payoff − Your Deduction Received − (Total Group Deduction / 4)
