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...

The solidarity motive
Engel, Christoph - 2016

We present evidence from a laboratory experiment showing that individuals who believe they were treated unfairly in an interaction with another person are more likely to cheat in a subsequent unrelated game. Specifically, subjects first participated in a dictator game. They then flipped a coin...

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...

An ultimatum game with multidimensional response strategies
Güth, Werner; Levati, M. Vittoria; Nardi, Chiara; … - 2014
We enrich the choice task of responders in ultimatum games by allowing them to independently decide whether to collect what is offered to them and whether to destroy what the proposer demanded. Such a multidimensional response format intends to cast further light on the motives guiding responder...
