Group assignment
Participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups. There were 40 individual-participant ‘slots’ per group. However, upon returning a submission, Prolific automatically made the vacant slot available to a new participant. Thus, This is a two-part study. BE SURE TO COMPLETE BOTH PARTS. ***YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE PAYMENT UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED PART 2.***Note that this approach differs from Auer et al., who paid participants upon completion of each part of the study [This is a two-part study consisting of (1) two short games and (2) a 66-question survey. BE SURE TO COMPLETE BOTH PARTS. ***YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE PAYMENT UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED PART 2.*** Participants typically complete both parts in about 30 min. Some research participants find that the game is boring or repetitive and quit before it is finished. Others quit before completing the survey. If a sizable number of people quit before completing both tasks, the data quality will be compromised. However, our research depends on high-quality data. Thus, please make sure you do not mind completing the ENTIRE TASK before getting started.Participants receiving these additional instructions could not proceed until they (1) typed in the statement “I will complete the entire task” and (2) provided their Prolific ID to consent to participate. Typing in the statement “I will complete the entire task” could be analogous to an honesty pledge in research on cheating [Low-pay groups (Low Pay + Minimal Instructions,
