Setting/Lab/Equipment
---------------------
Data collection of the online studies (Study 1 & 3) were conducted via Amazon Mechanical Turk / an online Panel provider, respectively.
Data collection in the lab (study 2) took place in a computer lab with 12 cubicles, so that an anonymous setting of up to three Public Goods Games in parallel was assured. Participants had access to a Dell laptop with a 13" inch screen. Participants were positioned so that they could not see each other or the computers used by other participants.
