- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method After a waiting period of about 5 minutes, participants engage in a economic game (a modified version of a common pool resource dilemma). In this game, they can extract points from a common pool which they share with other participants. They receive a monetary reward per extracted point. If too many points are extracted, the payoff for other participants in the future is reduced. The amount of points extracted in this game serves as primary outcome.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Participants will be asked which extraction in the economic game would have been fair.
