Questionnaire #3
You have been playing a trust game. There is another game in which you and a partner play
against an opposing team.
In each round of this game, your team is randomly matched with another team. The round has
one part. Coin flips are used to determine who will play that round for their team. That person is
given $1 which he/she can either add directly to the team earnings or invest in the other team.
Any invested money is tripled and added to the earnings of the opposing team. The opposing
team does not have any opportunity to give money back in that round (although it is possible to
be randomly matched with that team in a future round).
If neither team invests, then each gains $1.
If both teams invest, then each gains $3.
If only one team invests, then the team that invests gains $0 and the other gains $4.
At the end of this game, you and your partner split the team earnings equally, so whenever you
lose money, your partner loses the same amount of money, and whenever your partner loses
money, you lose the same amount.
When this game is actually played, none of the players know who the other players are, but
imagine you could pick your partner. For each of the faces shown below, indicate whether you
would pick that person to be your partner.
