About the experiment

·         Several participants including yourself are participating in this experiment. You will be
paired with one of the other participants. You or the other participant will never know who the
partner is.

·         In the experiment, you or your partner will divide candy between the two. How much each
earns in this experiment depends on the decisions that you and your partner make.

·         First, you and your partner will be randomly assigned to a role of A or B


·         A decides how to divide the 5 candies that has been given to the two of you.

·         B chooses to “inform A that he/she has accepted A’s decision” or “inform A that he/she
has rejected A’s decision.” ‹

·         If B chooses to “inform A that he/she has accepted A’s decision,” A will be informed that
B has accepted A’s decision. Then, the two of you will receive the amount of money according to A’s
decision. ‹

·         If B chooses to “inform A that he/she has rejected A’s decision,” A will be informed that
B has rejected A’s decision. As a consequence, both receive no money.
