Description: Read_me for Burton-Chellew & A’Damico 2021, Proc Roy Soc B data A preference to learn from successful rather than common behaviours in human social dilemmas Proceedings of the Royal Society B series DOI = 10.1098/rspb.2021.1590 This study was originally published as a pre-prtint on the Open Science Framework, under the title, Humans prefer to copy success rather than the social norm in a cooperative game The project was officially named CURL, there were two periods of data collection, CURL1 and CURL2. In the data folder are all the original data files from the z-Tree experiment, and for the analysis there is an R script (CURL_analysis_script_public) , keep this into the same folder as the data files to run the script. The data files are 2 per experimental session, identified by the time and date stamp. For each session there is an .xls file which contains the decision data in the experiment. There is also a .sbj file, which is the questionnaire responses data, these can also be opened in excel. But the R script contains a package by Kirchkamp (Oliver Kirchkamp. "Importing z-Tree data into R." Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance (22), 1-2, 2019) which will effortlessly import both the .xls and the .sbj files into an R object for analyses. The experimental z-Tree files are also available.
