Internet cautions: Experimental games with internet partners
研究了互联网信任博弈实验中,被试是否相信自己与真实对手匹配,发现怀疑心态会导致过度信任实验者而非对手,从而产生误导性结果。
Abstract We report the results of experiments conducted over the internet between two different laboratories. Each subject at one site is matched with a subject at another site in a trust game experiment. We investigate whether subjects believe they are really matched with another person, and suggest a methodology for ensuring that subjects’ beliefs are accurate. Results show that skepticism can lead to misleading results. If subjects do not believe they are matched with a real person, they trust too much: i.e., they trust the experimenter rather than their partner.
