Do reciprocators exploit or resist moral wiggle room? : an experimental analysis

Matthey, Astrid; Regner, Tobias - 2015

By now there is substantial experimental evidence that people make use of "moral wiggle room" (Dana et al., 2007), that is, they tend to exploit moral excuses for selfish behavior. However, this evidence is limited to dictator games. In our experiment, a trust game variant, we study whether...

Reciprocity under moral wiggle room : is it a preference or a constraint?

Regner, Tobias - 2016

We analyze reciprocal behavior when moral wiggle room exists. Dana et al. (2007) show that giving in a dictator game is only partly due to distributional preferences as the giving rate drops when situational excuses for selfish behavior are provided. Our binary trust game closely follows their...

Motivational cherry picking

Regner, Tobias; Riener, Gerhard - 2011

We construct a simple three person trust game with one trustor and two trustees. The trustor has the possibility to either trust both trustees or none, while the trustees make their decisions either sequentially or simultaneously, depending on the treatment. When trustees play sequentially,...

Privacy, trust and social network formation

Gaudeul, Alexia; Giannetti, Caterina - 2015

We study in the laboratory the impact of private information revelation on the selection of partners when forming individual networks. Our experiment combines a "network game" and a "public-good game". In the network game, individuals decide with whom to form a link with, while in the...

Hidden costs of control : three repetitions and an extension

Ploner, Matteo; Schmelz, Katrin; Ziegelmeyer, Anthony - 2010

We report three repetitions of Falk and Kosfeld's (2006) C5 and C10 treatments whose results largely conflict with those of the original study. We mainly observe hidden costs of control of low magnitude which lead to low-trust principal-agent relationships. We also report an extension where...

Intentions and consequences : an experimental investigation of trust and reciprocity determinants

Güth, Werner; Mugera, Harriet; Musau, Andrew; Ploner, … - 2012

We experimentally manipulate the efficiency of trust and reciprocity in a modified Investment Game. The aim of our manipulation is to test whether reciprocity is mainly affected by payoff consequences of trust or by intentions underlying it. We find that intentions matter and that consequences...

You are who your friends are : an experiment on trust and homophily in friendship networks

Kataria, Mitesh; Winter, Fabian - 2013

We study the existence of homophily (i.e. the tendency for people to make friends with people who are similar to themselves) with respect to trustworthiness. We ask whether two friends show similarly trustworthy behavior towards strangers, and whether this is anticipated by outsiders. We develop...
