Background

In this study, we tried two new manipulations for PT: stepping into the receiver’s shoes if they were to receive 0 Dollars AND stepping into the receiver’s shows if they were to receive 10 Dollars (tripled to 30),

Here, we’re going to compare these conditions to the two conditions from the last study: blank control and general perspective-taking.

Attention checks

Before we keep going, let’s see how many passed attention checks.
att_1: If you, as Sender, forwarded $5 to the Receiver, how much would the Receiver then have in their account?
att_2: If the Receiver had 15 dollars in their account and returned 6 dollars to you as the Sender, how much would the Receiver end up with?

## `summarise()` has grouped output by 'att_1'. You can override using the
## `.groups` argument.
att_1 att_2 N
0 0 2
0 1 6
1 0 13
1 1 179

Great. That leaves us 179 participants who passed both checks.

Predicted returns

We asked participants to predict how much their Receiver will return if they were to forward 15 dollars, 30 dollars, and the amount that they actually forwarded. Here are the distributions of predicted returns for 15 dollars and 30 dollars.

Ok, this is just adjuting for a bunch of comparisons, and we’re underpowered to do that. Let’s run some t-tests.

Open-text responses

cond forwarded PT
PT_0 0 they would feel like they got screwed over and would probably be mad…I know I would be. They would then think to themselves that they should have never of trusted a stranger.
PT_0 0 As the receiver I would be angry and frustrated that the sender did not share any money with me. I would feel like the sender did not trust that I would be willing to return any money to them.
PT_0 0 I feel frustrated and let down. I should have known not to trust people, and to look out for myself.
PT_0 0 I don’t think they would really feel anything negative. The sender doesn’t have any obligation to send the receiver anything.
PT_0 0 I would feel untrusted. I would want to ask them why they didn’t trust me to send back the money so that we could both benefit.
PT_0 0 If they received $0 they would likely be disappointed in the sender, and possibly a little angry at them. They’d feel rejected, unfairly no doubt, but also that they missed out on an opportunity to get some free money. It would be simultaneously a rejection of them and their perceived morality and trustworthiness, but also a miss opportunity for personal gain.
PT_0 0 This person, the other player, might be very upset or uncomfortable with the situation at hand. They might not like the fact that they did not receive any money from the other player.
PT_0 0 It would be disappointing to receive $0 from the sender. I think disappointment would be the main emotion from the experience.
PT_0 0 They seem to be logical, so I think they would be disappointed. Although they would be disappointed, I don’t think they would be surprised at the result.
PT_0 0 I think they would feel let down and annoyed that they didn’t get a single dollar sent to them. I feel like they would expect the sender to at least send them a few dollars of the ten that they could send.
PT_0 0 I told the sender about how I’m a hard working person in a respectable field with a passion I pursue. I feel like all of this would show me to be a trustworthy person but it would seem I was wrong.
PT_0 0 I expected as much. It’s hard to trust a stranger and many people get burned doing these type of things, especially when both parties are not face to face. It’s much easier being cruel and untrustworthy online.
PT_0 0 They might feel mad and angry that they didn’t end up sending them any money. They would think they are greedy and don’t want to help out others.
PT_0 0 The Receiver would likely be disappointed and distraught after not receiving any of the possible amount. They would be shocked and feel unexciting and also be sad.
PT_0 0 This person understands the difficulties faced by their teammates. They would be disappointed in receiving $0 but they would put themselves in the shoes of the other person and understand why that person only sent $0. This person is focused on being a good example for people which requires an understanding of why people may not always be good examples for others. They would take this situation and learn from it and be disappointed but not too disappointed with the outcome.
PT_0 1 They would probably think that the sender took advantage of them and that they don’t respect him enough
PT_0 1 I would feel betrayed and disappointed. I want to be able to have more. I feel that they are selfish
PT_0 1 Receiving $0 leaves them perplexed and undervalued. They wonder about the sender’s intent and role in this exchange.
PT_0 2 I think they receiver would feel cheated and disappointed. I think they would be upset with the sender for not getting a chance at the bonus we could both receive for this game.
PT_0 2 They would actually feel bad and somehow unhappy about that. It wouldn’t please them. And they might as well be unconcerned
PT_0 2 They feel a bit dejected and would likely be a bit angry if they had sent any money during their sender step. It would also make them feel a bit more hesitant to trust strangers in the future or at least when they are behind anonymity.
PT_0 2 If I can step into their shoes and only received $0, this would be a depressing point. I believe having something is better than nothing and if they decided to only send nothing, it would make me wonder what type of person they are.
PT_0 2 They will would feel empty and unfulfilled. They also might expect to get nothing because they don’t know the sender.
PT_0 3 I would just assume they wanted to keep it, which is their right. I wouldn’t be mad. I’d probably keep it too.
PT_0 3 I would feel annoyed and think that you deserved to get more than nothing. The money isn’t big so it wouldn’t be that big of a deal.
PT_0 3 I think they may feel hurt with receiving nothing. They sound like they try to help others after all and being able to send money back to the sender would be right in line for them.
PT_0 3 They would feel like they are worthless. They would feel as if they can’t be trusted. I’m sure they would be quite sad.
PT_0 3 I would feel very disappointed and a little angry. Being in the receiver role makes you feel somewhat helpless, because you have no power over whether you get any money to work with. I would feel ignored if I wasn’t sent any money.
PT_0 3 Receiving $0 from the Sender would likely leave the Receiver feeling disappointed and disconnected. They would think that they are not trustworthy enough.
PT_0 4 I am surprised that the person doesn’t trust me at all to repay them plus some, or does not trust that the study is being truthful. Its not hurtful, just surprising
PT_0 4 The receiver would probably feel a bit indifferent about the sender’s decision. The receiver would probably acknowledge that we all have our own self-interest.
PT_0 4 they would feel sad and might think about sender. Must feel disappointed. it will hard to work together.
PT_0 5 I would be very disappointed and probably angry at the sender for sending the $0. It did not seem very fair to me that they could not allocate any money at all, they had to allocate a sum of zero.
PT_0 5 They probably predicted the probability of receiving $0. They probably predicted human nature and figured $0 but would be pleasantly surprised if it was more than $0. They run on data and analytics.
PT_0 5 Since i am the hed of a compNY I KNW THAT SHARING IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF LIFE IT BOTHER ME TO THINK THAT THE PERSON IM PLAYING AGAINIS DOES NOT HAVE MY SAME WORLD VIEWS.
PT_0 5 I’d be feeling disappointed, and honestly a bit sad. I know this is just a game, but I’d like to believe that most people have altruistic behaviors that would lead them to share.
PT_0 5 I think they would be feeling bad about society if they received $0 from the sender. They would probably also think the sender is selfish.
PT_0 5 They’re probably feeling upset and offended because the sender didn’t send them anything! They can’t even ‘get them back’ because they don’t have anything in their account.
PT_0 5 I would feel anger and sadness towards the sender. I would not trust people around me after such experience.
PT_0 5 I would feel let down since I know they can send 5 and keep the other 5 and I would end up with 15. This seems like a no brainer since someone else can get 15 while you still end up with some cash. Plus, the receiver may even send 5 back and that way everyone ends up with 10 dollars to keep.
PT_0 5 I think they would certainly feel disappointed at the missed opportunity to earn some extra money. I know that I would feel disappointed to not receive anything if I were in the position.
PT_0 5 The Receiver would probably be thinking that the Sender was selfish and untrustworthy. They think only of themselves and not how their decisions might benefit others involved in the interaction. In short, they would have a low opinion of the Sender.
PT_0 5 I’m thinking they would feel like the sender was stingy. It might make the receiver feel bad they got nothing from the sender.
PT_0 5 I think they would be disappointed that I was not fair at being sent $0 and would not send back anything They would also think I am greedy and self centered because I did not send them nothing
PT_0 5 I won’t be totally surprised because humans are generally greedy and not trustworthy. The sender might just want it more and decide to keep it all, I would be a bit sad and hope the sender had sent something but I wouldn’t let it affect me and move on from it.
PT_0 5 I think they would be upset and feel that it was unfair to receive nothing. They would feel cheated.
PT_0 5 In the receiver role, it might feel a little crummy as any money received, could contribute to the hobbies or passions they may have. In this case, cooking.
PT_0 5 I would be thinking that the sender doesn’t trust me very much, and I would be wondering why. It would benefit us both if the sender would trust me at least a little because I would be willing to send money back.
PT_0 5 Disapointed. Being someone who volunteers their time to help others to run into someone like a sender who sends nothing would be a disapointment. But it would also empower them. Knowing that the people they help have yto deal with people like the sender who doesnt help would make them work even harder to help others
PT_0 5 I think they would be disappointed that the sender didn’t trust them to be fair. I think their feelings would be slightly hurt.
PT_0 5 I think they would feel slighted and likely a little angry. it would be inconsiderate of me to send \(0. I would never do this because I wouldn’t want it done to me. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:left;width: 1cm; "> PT_0 </td> <td style="text-align:right;width: 1cm; "> 5 </td> <td style="text-align:left;width: 4cm; "> It was an extremely selfish thing to not send any money.

Whatever the sender doesn’t send them to their money will triple. When the sender is being selfish it benefits the receiver.
PT_0 5 This person may feel hurt because he or she could use the money to help with making an income or enjoying the great outdoors. Yet, I think this person is resilient and would be happy regarding their future prospects at earning money.
PT_0 5 They would probably be disappointed that they didn’t receive any money. But I think that they would likely understand that the Sender was trying to maximize their winnings.
PT_0 5 I believe they would be understanding that the sender might not have much. And I also believe they might also understand that the sender, not having much, is not trusting of the process.
PT_0 5 If I knew them, I would think it was a typing error. and I will feel that was not intentional. If I didn’t get a call after, or a message, I would feel disappointed and resend it back to them.
PT_0 5 I would certainly feel a sense of excitement or joy, as the money can provide financial support and help alleviate stress related to expenses. This proves that receiving money as a gift, can bring a sense of relief or comfort.
PT_0 5 The receiver will feel disappointed and feel cheated and might made him or her to do the same to another person next time.
PT_0 5 I can’t believe I just got $0 for that work. What did I do wrong? and I’m worried about how I’m going to make ends meet now.
PT_0 6 They would probably feeling that the world is not trusting, or that the other person is feeling a bit greedy and doesn’t really want to participate.
PT_0 6 I feel they would feel disappointed in receiving nothing. I think they might take it personally. I feel it would kind of put a damper on their day.
PT_0 6 There’s a very high chance that the receiver will feel hurt and kinda betrayed too. The receiver would feel more hurt especially if he/she even sent much more money , especially wit the intention to get it back from the sender. There’s a high chance that the receiver is hurt.
PT_0 6 If they received $0 from a sender, they would be very upset most likely because it would make the task feel worthless to them.
PT_0 7 I think the would be a little disappointed by receiving nothing from the sender. However, the receiver seems like an industrious person. I think he would shrug it off and get back working without letting it bother him too much.
PT_0 7 I’m sure they would not be feeling good. They would think that the response they gave about what kind of work they like maybe influenced how much money they received. They might also be angry at first, wondering why the person they were receiving from is so greedy.
PT_0 7 They would be thinking how to maximize their gain. They would feel bad if they receive 0 from a sender.
PT_0 8 They would feel that the sender is very selfish and greedy. They would also feel that they should not return any money in future transfers.
PT_0 8 If I received $0 from a sender I would feel like they did not trust me at all or did not thing I would send any back. Since the amount is being tripled I think even a few dollars is a good show of faith.
PT_0 8 I seem to not be trustworthy to my sender as he/she sent me 0. I wish they would have had more trust in me and we could both have made a nice bonus.
PT_0 8 The receiver would probably be thinking and feeling his description of a type of person he is, is the reason why he hasn’t received any money.
PT_0 9 I think that the Receiver would feel down about not getting anything from the Sender and wonder why they weren’t valued enough to receive something.
PT_0 10 They would feel upset and sad that they were not included in receiving anything. I would be upset too
PT_0 10 They might feel hurt and saddend that they were not trusted. They might also feel a bit of resentment.
PT_0 10 I think the receiver would be super bummed if they didn’t receive anything from the sender. I think it would probably make them grumpy for the rest of the day.
PT_0 10 They would be disappointed, especially if they were aware that the Sender started with $10 and anything sent to them triples in value.
PT_0 10 I would think they would be disappointed, but also approach things logically instead of emotionally. They would probably recognize that the other person didn’t trust a stranger.
PT_0 10 I imagine they would feel very unhappy with the situation. They would feel like the other person was greedy and uncaring about them personally.
PT_0 10 I would feel disappointed, and concerned why the other person does not trust me to be fair. I would feel sad that I won’t be able to possibly earn any kind of bonus, but I suppose I would understand the greed of the Sender. Maybe they need the money, or just didn’t want to risk getting \(0 in the end. </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:left;width: 1cm; "> PT_0 </td> <td style="text-align:right;width: 1cm; "> 10 </td> <td style="text-align:left;width: 4cm; "> The receiver would think, "What did I do wrong?".

It would make me reluctant to continue playing the game.
PT_0 10 I’m sure I would be feeling major disappointment. It would lower my trust level in people in this space.
PT_0 10 I would feel like the sender just lost an opportunity. I would have been able to increase their wealth if only they had sent me the money so it would triple. Their loss, as well as mine.
PT_0 10 Some people are never trusting enough to take a leap of faith in life. We can’t change the world if we are not willing to dare the unknown.
PT_0 10 Considering this person likes to make the most of their time and feel like they are achieving something, I would feel very disappointed. I would feel as though I wasted my time since I am going to walk away with no opportunity to even engage in my role as a receiver since the sender did not offer me anything to work with. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was expecting something in order to be engaged within the experiment. Since nothing was exchanged, I cannot participate which leaves me feeling bored and that is something I try to avoid.
PT_0 10 They would be probably think that their partner has trust issues. The Receiver would think that the Sender does not like to take risks too often.
PT_0 10

Hmm.. ..Maybe the receiver would feel slighted, by my keeping the $10 all for myself? Or, perhaps, they would understand my hesitancy for entrusting a stranger with my fate. Perhaps if they knew, I am a menial worker (receiving menial wages), they might not be as upset, considering they themselves are a “data analyst” — theoretically, they should be making at least twice as much as I.

Who knows?
PT_0 10 I think that the Receiver would feel hurt and frustrated. They would’ve appreciated the opportunity to earn something.
PT_0 10 I think this person would be upset and have maybe a more negative view on the people in the world. Or maybe they just will think that they partnered with a selfish person.
PT_0 10 I’d feel disappointed, but I also understand the mindset. There’s no guarentee that I would send any money back to them
PT_10 0 I would be very happy that someone trusts and is empowering me with the full amount of money. I would be very grateful and happy about the amount being sent to me.
PT_10 0 They would feel lucky and and happy. They would probably think about sending some money back as they volunteer and have a character of giving.
PT_10 0 I think that this person would be pleased to receive the maximum amount allowed that I could send. That person would also be overjoyed to know that he or she could just keep all of the money and not worry about having me find out who they are. I think that this would be a perfect opportunity to cheat someone.
PT_10 0 They would likely be feeling excited if they received $30. I imagine they might feel compelled to reward the sender for their generosity.
PT_10 0 I generally prefer to work “smarter than harder” as the saying goes, but unfortunately I’ve been stuck in factory type jobs. So today, I get this $30 windfall and have to decide if I should keep it or pass some of it back to the sender. It’s $30 easy money if I keep it.
PT_10 0 They would be thinking they are special to have received $30 from a stranger and it was somehow part of their life’s fate. I do not think they would return any portion of it.
PT_10 0 If they received $30 from the sender, I believe they would be grateful that they were trusted with the entire amount. I think they would be reminded that the world is not such a bad place and generous return half the money to the sender.
PT_10 0 The sender is a naive person sending all their money to me. Or maybe they try to put pressure on me to send back an equally large amount.
PT_10 0 Getting $30 from the Sender will make the Receiver excited and responsible. They like the trust given and want to return fairly, keeping a good amount considering the tripled value.
PT_10 0 I feel like the sender put a lot trust in me to do the right thing and to split the money. This is the most fair outcome for the both of us. I will the right thing and give him $15.
PT_10 1 I would be grateful for the money sent, I also probably wouldn’t send any back- or maybe one dollar.
PT_10 1 I would feel happy. I know that I only came to make a little bit of money and I’d love to be able to make more x I’m desperate for cash and why people like us are on the platform
PT_10 2 In my opinion the person receiving $30 would likely be surprised at first that the sender sent the maximum amount. Then they would have the dilemma of deciding whether or not to keep the entire $30 or send some of it back to the other person.
PT_10 2 I would imagine they feel very surprised that I’d give them all my money. They would want to give a fair amount back.
PT_10 2 Since they are in IT, the sit at a computer mostly all day. If they received $30, he/she may feel excited to buy snacks.
PT_10 3 i WOULD BE VERY GRATEUFL THAT THEY DECIDED TO SEND SUCH A LRGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO ME AND WOULD LIKE TO PAY THEM BACK
PT_10 3 The receiver would feel really happy and appreciate my kindness. He would be thinking the right thing to do is to return a portion of the money, but most likely would keep it all
PT_10 3 They might be feeling generous and want to share with the other person. However, in this day and age, people are not only broke, they are selfish. So I feel like they would send very little if anything back.
PT_10 3 They would come up with something they and the sender could send the money they have on. Then they would weight if they would rather but just something for themselves or get something less but allow the other person to also have something.
PT_10 4 They might feel as though the sender is generous and wants to bless them. In return, they may feel like being fair.
PT_10 4 I think the Receiver would feel very good about receiving the money and would think that they are really doing the study with another person and not alone. I think the Receiver would likely send some of the money back to show that they are also a team player since they like to work with others.
PT_10 4 I will feel lucky though and start to think how i can return it or use it for my self. Because i know i did not work for itand can not spend it instantly.
PT_10 4 I think that they would be thinking that I as the sender was quite gracious and trusting. Due to their pension for making a better world, that they would then be fair in how they would want to send it back at the very least. But then people are not always what they seem.
PT_10 4 I would feel good that I was sent the maximum amount and I feel that I should return the favor by splitting the total with the sender. It isonly fair to share equally with the sender since the sender trusted me.
PT_10 5 I think they would be very pleased that the Sender sent all of the money ($10) they started with. In turn, based on what this receiver wrote, I think they would send half ($15) back to the Sender.
PT_10 5 I think that the receiver is grateful to receive $30. I think that the receiver would be kind in giving the sender money.
PT_10 5 If they received that much they would probably want to keep it all because it is a good amount of money but also should send at least a little but back since the sender was generous.
PT_10 5 Given their statement about volunteering, I’d think that they would see it as an opportunity to help someone. I’d anticipate they’d be grateful and be willing to share a significant portion of that $30.
PT_10 5 I believe this person is feeling grateful that they were given all of the money by the other participant. I think that they will feel gratitude and decide to send half of the money back to the other person.
PT_10 5 I feel that a data analyst would be very thoughtful in the amount they return. I feel that this person in particular would try to achieve the best outcome for the most number of people. I’m sure they would be tempted to keep the full amount though as there is no chance we would be working together again in the future and thus there would be no lasting consequence of betrayal.
PT_10 5 I would think they’d be pretty happy and surprised at receiving $30. With that 30 in mind, I think they’d also send some back, but keep the majority to themselves.
PT_10 5 They would be happy to receive any amount from the sender. The fact that they received the full amount possible might make them more likely to send more back than if they had received a lower amount.
PT_10 5 I would be happy they gave me all their money in the hopes I would help back. I do what I can to trust until I can’t trust them. I would send back half, which is 15 dollars. They put all of their faith in me, and I should return the favor.
PT_10 5 I think they would be happy that they received $30 from the sender. I think the receiver would send back $15 to the sender.
PT_10 5 As someone in a management position who gets to make decisions, they are used to trying to keep things fair. or seemingly fair. I imagine they would go 50/50
PT_10 5 I would be feeling elated that someone was nice enough to send me this amount of money. I would want to be fair so I would return half of this amount to the sender. I would feel grateful for getting the money and want to “pay it forward” and do a good deed for them as well.
PT_10 5 As the Receiver, receiving $30 from the Sender would likely make them feel grateful and fortunate. They might be thinking about the ethical choice of how much to return to the Sender, balancing their desire to keep a significant portion while also acknowledging the Sender’s trust in them.
PT_10 5 They would probably be thankful for the generous sum of cash the receiver sent them, and would likely want to return the favor by giving the sender a fair return in kind
PT_10 5 would be happy and feel helped as well acomplishesd would also be grateful and thankful would want to more as a person and like to take surveys like this since it helps individually
PT_10 5 I’m sure they would be very grateful and want to reciprocate. As a team player they have seen the advantages of cooperating with other people.
PT_10 5 Should I send back any money, even though I did not force the sender to send me money. It would probably be immoral if I do not send back any money.
PT_10 5 I will feel somehow because the sender send all the money without keeping some for his/herself which is quite generous, I as a receiver will think it will be good if i send back half of the money to the sender.
PT_10 5 I think that I’d be excited and want to return half of it to the sender. The fact that we could maximize the return would be terrific. I think I’d be very happy and want to send it back.
PT_10 5 I feel that the receiver would be very surprised of the amount they have received from the sender. It is highly possible they expect =ed little or no money from the sender since the sender is a stranger, hence putting them in a very overwhelmed mood.
PT_10 5 They would be very happy. They would feel at ease that they have a larger sum then they were expecting. Based on their description it seems they would put it to good use
PT_10 5 Receiving $30 from the Sender, they might feel grateful and surprised, they would think that it is a generous gesture.
PT_10 5 If I receive $30 from the sender, I feel that the sender expects me to return a large amount to him. I would probably give him $15 back as a thank you.
PT_10 5 They would be thinking that they are extremely happy and thankful to receive the funds. But that they would be more than willing to share and give some back to the sender.
PT_10 5 I would be surprised and grateful that someone would send me such a large amount of money, especially since I don’t know them.
PT_10 6 I would feel grateful given that they forwarded the entire amount to me and I would be likely to split the amount with them and forward $15 back
PT_10 6 Now, step into their shoes. Consider how this person might feel in the Receiver role. Imagine what they are thinking and feeling after receiving $30 … and about how much money to return to the Sender.
PT_10 7 I think they would be feeling like they had a lot of power, and like they don’t have to do anything if they want. It could all be theirs. They don’t like work and so would see this as theirs. They might feel grateful, though.
PT_10 7 Do what you will with the money, but how would you feel about sending some of that mulah back this way?
PT_10 8 I believe they would be grateful receiving the $30, as it implies the Sender is quite generous and believes the Receiver will return the favor. I also believe they would be compelled to send back $15, as they seem like they would be fair given their choice of career.
PT_10 8 They would be feeling happy that the sender sent them that amount of money. They may “return the favor” in sending a high amount of money, but I don’t think they would send the same amount that they received.
PT_10 8 I like the play game is very useful. recently given us their responses in a prior phase of this activity.
PT_10 8 I would feel trusted because they seem to trust me to be a team player. I would pay them back in the same way.
PT_10 8 They will be thinking on how generous the sender was, and they will be very happy for receiving such amount from the sender.
PT_10 9 Hey Lets try to trust a stranger , you in ? we both win that is most defiantly not a bad idea. Receiving $30 out of the blue feels like a pleasant surprise, leaving me pondering how to reciprocate the Sender’s kindness.
PT_10 10 I think they would feel grateful that you sent so much, and send at least $10 back… hopefully. I don’t think the description of them would really play a role in their likelihood to send back a certain amount.
PT_10 10 I think they would be happy that the sender sent the full amount. I think they would feel morally obligated and inspired to send at least half back.
PT_10 10 This receiver seems to be well-intentioned and kind, so they would be feeling gratitude toward the Sender for trusting them enough to send the full amount. They’d likely pay back $15, splitting the earnings in full, as they’d feel it was fair.
PT_10 10 They would be very excited to have the $10 sent to them, resulting in it being tripled to $30. However, they would probably feel very guilty if they didn’t return at least half of their proceeds to me.
PT_10 10 Ooo that’s the maximum they could have sent! Awesome! They’re feeling generous about this task, so I’m also assuming that they would want to me to send back half. I’m thinking I didn’t have $15 at the start of today, so it would well for me to send back half as a nice thank you.
PT_10 10 I think the receiver would feel happy that the sender was so generous. They may also be excited. I believe they would also feel and obligation to send half (15) to the sender.
PT_10 10 This person would think this is a windfall and would be fair and send half 15 back. She has a sense of just and would want to do what is right.
PT_10 10 Wow. That is very trusting and generous to send $10, resulting in $30 in my account. I think that I will reward that trusting spirit. I will transfer $15 of that $30 back to the sender. Then, we will both have the same amount. And we will both have gained money in the experience. I think it would be wrong to keep any more than $15 of the $30 that was sent to my account by the Sender.
PT_10 10 They might send about half to $15. I think them receiving that amount would lead them to send that or more.
PT_10 10 I think the Receiver would feel happy that the Sender chose to/entrusted them with the entirety of their funds. I feel like the Receiver would feel in part obligated to send $15 back so that the Sender makes a little extra money than they started with.
PT_10 10 I would think the sender was being generous. Due to that fact, I would want to be generous in return.
PT_10 10 Wow, the sender was really generous and trusting to be able to send all of their money to me. I wonder how much I should send back, would feel back if I didn’t at least give $10.
PT_10 10 I think they would feel very surprised and happy. It might make them feel like they too should be generous.
PT_10 10 They would probably appreciate the fact the Sender trusts them. The ball would technically be in the Receiver’s court at this point to do what the Sender is hoping they will.
PT_10 10 I would be very happy to ge the money. Thirty dollars is a lot of money to me and i would be very excited.
PT_10 10 I would think the receiver would be thinking of just keeping the $30. There’s no clear incentive to sending any money back. In fact, I don’t think either of us get to keep this money - we both get two bucks at the end. It’s reasonable to just keep the $30 if I’m being honest.
PT_10 10 This individual would be thinking that if they are on the same page with this individual they could play the system and maximize their income. This would take team work and compliance from both parties though.
PT_10 10 Hopefully, the receiver would realize that I am taking a leap of faith by sending them the full amount and would reciprocate by sending half of the money back. There is always a chance someone could keep the money without reciprocating.
PT_10 10 I think the receiver would be very pleased to get $30 from the sender. I feel like most people would expect the Sender to keep all of the money for themselves, not expecting anything in return and choosing what benefits them the most, rather than the other.
PT_10 10 Sending $30 would be a leap of faith, but if they send back half ($15) it’s the best deal for both of us.
PT_10 10 They would likely be feeling very surprised and grateful that they were sent the full amount. They would also be more likely to return more money.
PT_10 10 I think I shouls send them something back. I would have nothing if they didn’t send anything. The sender didn’t have to send anything. I believe they sent $30 to maximize profit for both of us.
PT_10 10 I would be feeling incredibly lucky. I would think that the sender feels I am a trustworthy person and I would feel that I have an obligation to be fair and compensate them in some way.
PT_10 10 I think the receiver very happy feeling. Like a good character for the receiver send to 15 right choice.
PT_10 10 I know they will be feeling very happy and excited. They also feel being trusted for sending the entire $10 to them. I know some will be filled with the thought of the amount they will send back from the $30.
PT_10 10 I would feel gracious for the trust. Because of this I would want to return the favor and would send half of the $30 back to the Sender as a token of my appreciation.
PT_10 10 They would feel grateful at the level of trust put in them and also in the opportunity to get greater profits. They would be balancing how much they could use the money with how fair they want to be with the sender and treat the money more evenly.
