Repeat can increase the possibility that more points will be made
Same as first question I choose contract, choosing ONCE will take higher change of less point
I choose repeat once and then contract, because in both case choosing same is always same points, while I would like to take a risk to see how other choose
contract makes more likeley for pepopoe to choose blue
contract makes more likely for pepople to coose blue
I chose repeat, hoping the other would choose Blue, which is more likely under repeat, as there is some room for cooperation/punishment. Then I'd choose yellow and hope for a quick end of the game to keep the average pay-out high.
I chose contract as (60,60) is clearly a nash equilibrium, while for once that would be (20,20) which is lower, obviously.
I chose contract as the likely payoff is 60-5=55, while for repeat there is a large probability that payoff will be lower, as each player has an incentive to deviate from blue to yellow, which will probably lead to a yellow,yellow equilibrium at some point, which is especially harmful if the game is played several rounds.
Yes, more than two times but less than five
Yes, I have attended a course (including online courses);Yes, I have read literature;
one shot game more effective if you are lucky
contract is a safe 60 of profit as its nash equilibrium
this that people could improve they score, altruism ever heard of that capitalist\r\n?
contract- biggest outcome splitted equaly among people. How it should be, perfectly balanced communism
Yes, I have attended a course (including online courses);
once was a safe choice in comparison to repeat
in once there is a possibility of getting 0 but contrast you never get 0 points
The chances of someone choosing yellow by ONCE were slim.
The chances of someone choosing yellow by ONCE were slim, there was no point in loosing 5 points for nothing.
I choose contract because the chance of someone choosing yellow was very slim, because they would earn more if the chose blue.
I CHOSE REPEAT BECAUSE I FELT I MAY EARN MORE AS AS IT KEEPS RPEATING, RATHER THAN HAVING AN EARNING ONCE WHICH MAY NOT BE FAVOURABLE.
I CHOSE ONCE BECAUSE I DID NOT LIKE THE OUTCOME OF REPEAT WHICH I PREVIOUSLY DID AND SO I WANTED TO TRY THIS ANYWAY AND ALSO I WONT BE ABLE TO EARN 100 IN CONTRACT AT ALL
I CHOSE REPEAT BECAUSE I DONT THINK CONTRACT WILL BE FAVOURABLE ENOUGH. ACTUALLY I THINK CONTRACT IS RISKY BUT IM NOT SURE.
I thought that decision once is more reliable than repeat and possible outcome under the best circumstance is more higher than repeat. Also computers decision on period number selection is random, that makes outcome unforseen. Although it takes courage to make this decision 'once' and blue selection because from this path of decision you may obtain nothing but I like to share and to trust good and generous people not greedy or winner takes all in ones.
I thought that decision once is more reliable than contract and possible outcome under the best circumstance 'blue-blue' is more higher than contract.
Since both of them has the same outcome it does not effect my decision.
On the one hand, with once there is a chance to be matched with someone that will simply choose blue. On the other hand, repeat gives the incentive to cheat from the second period and would minimise your earnings. So I went with ONCE
Contract increased the likeliness of BLUE by reducing the immense payout of YELLOW, so I chose contract, even if it cost 5 points, I would have expected to earn 30 points in ONCE anyways
Repeat gives incentives to cheat, contract reduces the incentive (but doesn't eliminate it)
In my opinion the Repeat interaction was to risky and the others were too aggressive in choosing
Once was the safest decision for the same reason
I preferred contract because repeat was too risky for me
i took into account the 5 point that were taken and given the fact that i thought everytime everyone would choose yellow, it made more sense to choose the option ONCE
Same reason as what i stated above, it would cost me more than it would give me
repeat would give me more just in case somebody did decide to press blue
More likelihood that someone chooses blue
Contract because of more likelihood that someone chooses blue
I choose once because I expected that the benefit would be highest then.
I choose contract because I expected the benefits to be highest then.
I choose contract oce again bcause I thought the outcome would be most favourable.
I chose repeat to get more shots at earning points.
I chose contract because even though 5 points were deducted, the worst outcome was better than in once.
I chose contract because I realised that it gave more chances to earn points than repeat, since in repeat all results are then averaged out.
repeat gives me the opportunity to check what the other person's strategy is. \r\nAlso its a bit more fun
contract is less risk. i choose to trust a person before knowing them so I personally will always start with blue. in this way, contract gives the same reward and less risk
because i was betrayed in the first time playing repeat. and realized that if i get betrayed agian, i will lose trust in humanity. possibly punch somebody
I did the math and was the same money as everypne would select yellow anyway (and mo 5 minus)
Master Youth, Education and Society (UU)
There wasn't a difference in a good strategy between ONCE and REPEAT. It makes more sense to do ONCE, because the average might be lower than 100 ( highest possible payout). I also tried repeat chose BLUE and it rolled 4, so I felt that repeat was a scam.
I felt that CONTRACT had more of a chance that the other person would choose BLUE, because their was less risk with choosing blue. So I was more likely to get hte (60,60) payout, which is better than (20,20).
I chose CONTRACT, because I had success with choosing BLUE and felt that it was probably a 1/4 chance of the partner choosing BLUE.
I thought I could have received a 100 at least in one round and then my end payoff would be high
In CONTRACT there's a high chance that I end up with a higher payoff than I would do in ONCE
In CONTRACT there's a high chance that I end up with a higher payoff than I would do in REPEAT
Bachelor in Economics and Business Economics
In contract, it is very likely both me and the other participant would choose blue. This has the highest outcome.
In repeat, two participants are linked to each other for more than one interaction. Therefore, the other participant is also more likely to choose blue, because of future interactions. This way, I can get the highest outcome for also choosing blue.
I chose contract, because here is it clear that both participants will choose blue. However, the participant with whom I got to play choose yellow, which I found very odd.
I find the CONTRACT option more confusing so in general I would have picked ONCE. At the beggining I made the decision randomly.
REPEAT is more fun because you don't know how long it will last and it is funnier to interact with the same person multiple fun. If you pick ONCE then you have to wait the others to be finished.
REPEAT is the most enjoyable option while CONTRACT is confusing to me
once offers a chance to get a bigger profit, the risk is not that significant
I believe that the other participant would choose YELLOW if I chose ONCE, then I just received 0 or 20 points. Hovewer, I chose CONTRACT and I would receive 55 points for sure as I selected BLUE
I chose ONCE since I didn't need to spend much time thinking about the decisions I made.
choice was between ONCE and REPEAT. \r\n\r\nI thought it me be wise to choose REPEAT to get a reasonable average.
Choice was between ONCE and CONTRACT.\r\nREPEAT in the former experiment didn't work very well, therefore I choose CONTRACT, in the hope we both could earn some
REPEAT in a former experiment didn't work very well, therefore I choose CONTRACT, in the hope we both could earn some
In Contract you get at least 15 points if the other person chooses Yellow when you have chosen Blue.
I chose Repeat because in repeat you can lead the other participant into choosing Blue so you can both maximaze the points gained.
Contract gives you the safety that even if the other person doesn't contribute to the benefit of both of the individuals involved and decides only to gain the maximum points regardless of the other person.
Once seemed easier to understand at first
I chose Contract because Repeat was not worth the points earned.
I wanted to choose blue so i choose contract, because you get at least some points if the other chooses yellow. Besides if the other participant already wanted to choose yellow it is more beneficial to get in the once interaction.
I choose repeat because I thought it is more beneficial to both choose blue. But in order to both do the same it is easier to have a few rounds with the same person to get the same idea.
I again choose repeat, with the same reasoning as in part 3. It is more likely to get more points than 15 in the repeat stage and i thought it was quite unlikely to both choose blue at the first time.
Contract was the easiest of the choice because choosing blue was the most rewarding option and you could count on the other person to do so as well as it was benificial to collaborate on blue rather than betray with yellow which was not worth it with just 40 points.
In repeat, the trick was confidance and collaboration, if both of us collaborated on blue, we won 60 points each but if anyone of us choose yellow, that broke the trust of the other person, though you could win 100 points in that round but game was more likely to continue for several more rounds and the next time both of the participants had no choice but to choose yellow as noone could trust the other one now, that in two more rounds the average of the person who choose yellow in the first round comes down to 46.66 which is was only going to deteriorate in further trials. So, it was financially viable option to trust the other person with choosing blue. Whereas with ONCE you can't really rely on other person, the trust cannot be built.
CONTRACT was the safest choice as collaborating was the highest paying option whereas in REPEAT some participants can find choosing yellow to be a better choice, so you really can't trust the other person as much as you can in CONTRACT
100% people choosing once will go for the yellow and end up at 20 for each. and the contract is more understandable because the points it gives is higher than once so I would say almost everyone will choose blue, apart from those who don't understand the contract term
it's the same, almost everyone go for yellow. So I always chose ONCE because I don't want to end up 20-5=15
For me it seemed safer to choose for CONTRACT because 'blue' was an optimal option in this interaction.
I chose for repeat because it thought the people that were going to choose for ONCE were probably going for 'yellow' because the interaction wasn't repeated. Besides in REPEAT you could make up if you once had scored 0.
It seemed more safe to choose for CONTRACT because I thought every rational thinking person would choose blue in this interaction.
I chose contract because the earnings for choosing blue were higher than for yellow so the odds were bigger that the other one chose blue as well
i chose once because i figured that we'd both go for yellow and in repeat would both choose yellow but more times
i chose contract because we'd both go for blue and in repeat you had to get through a few rounds to get there
Both me and my participant will earn more if we both choose blue and their has no more earning choices for we to consider, so we prefer to choose CONTRACT.
ONCE, you don't need to pay for the 5 euro cost and you will at least earn 20 euros if yellow is chose and lucklily 100 if the other choose blue.
CONTRACT, you don't need to worry the other participant will choose yellow because is blue is the best choise for both of us, we both earn 55 euros equally. Fair job and nice play~
Contract seemed like a safer choice, I could be more sure the other person would choose blue
I considered the costs of the interaction, rather than the maybe more stable and predictable interaction
I considered the cost of the interaction
I decided on contract because the distribution of points was a little more equal
I wanted to try if Repeat could let me earn more money.
I chose CONTRACT because I wanted to know if other participant would make the same choice as me.
Sociology (not familiar with game theory)
I chose CONTRACT and ONCE once because I felt like they were both safe options.
Once I chose ONCE because it felt like a safe option but I also chose REPEAT once because I wanted to see what would happen and I could not really loose anything with it.
I made the choice for REPEAT twice because I was almost 100% certain that the other player would also choose blue and thus will have 60 points. I did REPEAT before this and it took very long so I was not very interested in doing that again since the result would most likely be the same or lower
Master Sustainable Development - ID track
It is less likely to lose points with one of these choices
I chose repeat to higher the chance of gaining points
Contract seems to have more advantages with the extra additional points
In contract, it is more likely to be blue blue
In repeat i had got a chance to play only period 1, so did not choose that option again
the highest in contract is with blue so both would choose blue
I wanted to be sure that i dont loose points
the earnings where higher in once because there were no points extracted
I choose contract because it was the savest option that delivers the most points
I chose once because of the subtraction as repeat doesn't guarantee more earnings to compensate
Once because there are incurred costs to contract
Repeat because higher chance of interaction. But should have chosen contract.
The other player was more likely to choose blue, which would lead to a better outcome. Only if the other player had chosen blue and I yellow under repeat would I not have made losses.
By choosing ONCE, I expected to earn the most points, because of the 45 point deduction in choosing repeat.
By choosing ONCE, I expected to earn the most points, because of the 45 point deduction in choosing contract.
Both of these interactions had a 45 point deduction, but when choosing contract it was almost guaranteed that the other player would choose BLUE, as doing so for both participants lead to the only profitable scenario. So for me it meant that choosing CONTRACT leads to an interaction where there is almost no chance ending up with negative points.
I chose ONCE because due to the substraction of 45 points when choosing REPEAT, it was simply not worth it.
I chose ONCE because the possible earnings of choosing CONTRACT were too little due to the substraction of 45 points.
I chose CONTRACT to not have a risk of losing points, which would have been possible when choosing REPEAT.
The same reason as above. less risky. That made me choose for ONCE
I choose CONTRACT because I wanted  to try if this is more rendabel
I figured that ONCE would be the safest because no points would be subtracted.
Again, I figured ONCE would be the safest because no points would be subtracted.
I chose REPEAT because I thought I would earn more from that when choosing BLUE every time, but because the other participant chose yellow every time that did not happen.
Trust that the other person would choose an option that would benefit you equally
Hoping that the other person would eventually choose blue to benefit me
It made sense to choose ONCE in round one as otherwise you would have had an automatic 45 points subtracted. REPEAT was also a less favourable choice to make as due to the concept of the prisoners dilemma, it is likely that people will end up choosing yellow over blue at some point, meaning your payoff has a higher chance to be lower than in ONCE, if both participants chose blue in the first instant (my opinion)
I chose to do ONCE, as i do not believe it was worth the chance to choose CONTRACt as you would have an automatic 45 points deducted and it would have been unlikely to receive an average of 60 in this case, making the payoff quite low
I chose to play REPEAT and Contract once each, as either way there was a reduction of 45 points meaning that these would be low point rounds, since by now, due to the logistics of the prisoners dilemma, most participants would be choosing yellow anyways meaning we would most likely end up with negative points
Als er 45 punten vanaf gaan, is je enige kans om meer te verdienen dan het laagste bij ONCE door op safe te spelen (20), dan moet je dus een gemiddelde van 65+ halen om meer punten te verdienen. Dit kan je alleen doen door minstens een keer 100 punten ta halen. Wat je alleen maar kan doen door geel te kiezen en de ander blauw, alleen is deze optie erg laag. Daardoor kan je beter veilig voor ONCE kiezen en zeker 20 punten krijgen
Als er 45 punten vanaf gaan, is je enige kans om meer te verdienen dan het laagste bij ONCE door op safe te spelen (20), dan moet je dus een gemiddelde van 65+ halen om meer punten te verdienen. Dit is niet eens mogelijk, waardoor het heel onlogisch is om CONTRACT te kiezen. Daardoor kan je beter gewoon ONCE kiezen en zeker 20 punten krijgen
Als er 45 punten vanaf gaan, kan je bij REPEAT vrij lastig meer punten verdienen. Bij CONTRACT is de kans groter dat de ander ook voor blauw gaat, omdat hier het meeste winst te behalen valt.\r\nStel de ander kiest blauw, heb jij de keuze tussen blauw (60 punten) of geel (40 punten)\r\nEn als de ander voor geel kiest, heb jij de keuze tussen blauw (15 punten) of geel (20 punten)\r\nEr is heel heel klein verschil om dan ook voor geel te gaan, maar dit verschil is zo minimaal, dat het niet echt uit maakt.\r\nDaarom is de kans groot dat beide blauw kiezen, en zo 60-45=15 punten te krijgen
I figured there was a low chance that the average earnings of REPEAT - 45 points would be higher than the points collected in ONCE.
The 45 points deduction meant the maximum amount you could earn in CONTRACT was 15, while in ONCE you could earn 60, 100 or 0, which is why I preferred ONCE.
I figured that the average points earned in REPEAT could very well be negative or 0 while CONTRACT gives you a certain income of 15 in this case.
chossing ONCE was less risky as when you make a choice of REPEAT 45 points are substrccted and there is a chance you'll have only one round
I chose ONCE because you can make more money in this interaction
I was choosing REPEAT  because there was a higher chance of bigger earnings
Choosing CONTRACT would subtract part of my points
CONTRACT seemed to guarantee more secure earnings
Because in repeat you had the chance to get more repeats in a row which would be more lucerative
Same reason to choose repeat, its more lucerative
Just choosing contract because in part 3 I already choose it a lot
I always chose ONCE, because it was a matter of chance: the fist time i won 100 points, so I tried to keep on using my strategy
Once again, there was a higher rate of succes for ONCE, and the 45 minus points you recieved for CONTRACT made me back off
Contract, it was clear what the other person would choose (blue), because that was the highest number of points to win
Chose once because I did not want 45 points to be subtracted if I had chosen contract.
Repeat gives you the feeling you get more chances to change something
I chose ONCE because I didnt have to pay for it and could make the same amount of points on average. but since you had to pay, i thought i would earn more in ONCE (I thought people would be more likely to chose blue all the time...)
I chose ONCE because I didnt have to pay for it and therefore could earn more points.
I chose CONTRACT because I thought that it is likely people chose blue (which is the highest amount of points in this part) and therfore both earn the same amount of points. therfore less risky then REPEAT
I chose ONCE once again (haha) because of the subtraction of 45 points if I chose REPEAT, if my calculations are correct I could earn more in ONCE than in REPEAT (see above, same as CONTRACT). I chose yellow two times because I had lost faith in humanity at this point.
I chose ONCE, because 45 points would be subtracted from my points in that stage if I chose CONTRACT. The maximum earning if I chose CONTRACT were 60. Minus 45 that would be 15. I figured that if I chose ONCE and then YELLOW, I would earn at least 20 points (which is more than 15). In practice, I chose  ONCE and then BLUE, because I think that's fair, but I ended up with points two times...
I chose CONTRACT, because the subtracting would happen anyway and I figured that people would see that if you chose BLUE in CONTRACT, you could earn the maximum points in CONTRACT (people weren't)
Again I chose ONCE cause I didn't want to lose subtracted points.
Just to be on the safe side. So I chose Once.
Contract seemed more safe and I lost less points.
Same is above, maximizing and i was not sure enough to place a ' trusting bet'.
Maximizing own profit via ONCE, I was not sure enough to select CONTRACT to get a blue-blue result.
I figured i could maximise by getting a contract, but i forgot about the -45 deduction. Got a blue-blue result, but figured that the cost could've been relatively less in a REPEAT setting. Though, only with a BLUE partner. I'm not sure if i made the right decision to go for CONTRACT as the result only was a meager 15 points
I chose ONCE, as the profits of ONCE were higher, due to the high subtraction in REPEAT
I chose ONCE, as the profits for ONCE were higher, due to the subtraction of 45 in CONTRACT
I chose REPEAT, as I believed the chance of both choosing blue would be higher because you now have a chance at playing more than 1 round with someone. This would result in a higher final profit than for REPEAT, where you only play 1 round with someone else
More likely my partner is gonna choose blue, thus more earnings
For REPEAT you would have deducted 45 points. and realistically I would have earned less than that plus the minimum 20 points (so together 65) that I could get by selecting yellow in ONCE.
For CONTRACT you would have deducted 45 points. and realistically I would have earned less than that plus the minimum 20 points (so together 65) that I could get by selecting yellow in ONCE.
I selected CONTRACT because there it was clear that blue would benefit us both, so an almost guaranteed 15 (60-45) points could be expected opposed to the most realistic (both of us choose yellows) -25 (20-45) at REPEAT.
I chose ONCE because I didn't want to incur the 45 point cost of choosing REPEAT.
I chose ONCE because I didn't want to incur the 45 point cost of choosing CONTRACT.
At first I chose REPEAT because I thought it would maximize my chances of accumulating points but then I chose CONTRACT because I earned a very low amount of points playing REPEAT.
repeat - chance of earning is higher as it has more rounds
I chose once (again) to avoid having 45 points deducted from my payment.
I chose once because I did not want to have 45 points deducted from my earnings.
I chose repeat in this period since I was interested to see how it would play out, and whether the other participant would change their decisions based on my choices.
REPEAT was more of an interesting outcome and did not have any losses
ONCE made more sense to me and seemed fairer
International Relations in Historical Perspective MA
Repeat gave me more chances to get a higher score
The financial penalty dissuaded me from choosing Contract
Contract as both parties would be able to make points
I chose once, because in repeat you would get the average and 45 points are subtracted. If you choose yellow in once, there are less consequences.
I believe I chose contract. Because in this condition there is no risk of getting 0 points. (However, I regretted this after realizing 45 points are subtracted)
I chose contract, because this condition would bring up the most points, if both chose 60 (which is likely, because 45 points are subtracted, so 60;60 would be the best choice in part 4 I believe).
In ONCE you had more chance of earning more points than in REPEAT, because in REPEAT there was a cost of 45 points.
In ONCE you had more chance of earning more points than in CONTRACT, because in CONTRACT there was a cost of 45 points.
In REPEAT you had a chance of earning more points than in CONTRACT, because there's a chance of earning 100 points per period.
I choose ONCE because in REPEAT you lost 45 points
I choose CONTRACT because both can earn the same among of money
I choose CONTRACT because we can earn more points
Because of the subtraction of 45 points, your payoff will always be highest if you choose yellow in the ONCE interaction.
I chose for REPEAT, hoping for the other to choose blue, so that I would gain 100 (which happened).
At ONCE I was guaranteed an earning of 20 while at REPEAT I was unsure about my earnings and if we were to follow the Nash equilibrium and both choose yellow, my earnings would have been much lower
If I chose Yellow at ONCE I was guaranteed an earning of 20 while the maximum earnings at CONTRACT were 15 due to the costs.
The chance that someone chooses blue at CONTRACT is very high and I probably won't get any higher earnings than 60 if I played REPEAT
The probability of earning points in Repeat is bigger than in Once given the other player collaborates
I just want to test the Contract interaction. However, I found it weird since I didn't receive at least 15 points when I chose Blue and other player chose Yellow. My point was 0 in Part 3
The Repeat interaction is more fun to play and to test the other player. As expected, no one wants to collaborate
I felt like the changes for fair outcomes would be higher in once, as I didn't feel like the other participants had a fair behavior.
I did choose contract, as the chances, that both participants would choose blue were high for me. I didn't see much chance for a high outcome of blue, blue in once.
Contract has the highest chance for the highest fair outcome for me. So I did choose Contract and hoped for blue, blue.
As in the experiment ONCE, it's very likely that people may choose YELLOW and I can only get 20 points. However, in the interaction REPEAT, I get higher chance of getting more points and through the REPEAT interaction, I get a chance to observe how other people react to the way I choose and to see if we can cooperate after the result of each step to earn higher points.
I chose CONTRACT as it is very likely that the other person would choose BLUE and therefore we can both earn (60-15=) 45 points, which is higher than when I chose ONCE and YELLOW for the experiment.
At first, I choose CONTRACT as I have similar expectation with the previous part, that is the person I interact with will choose BLUE to maximize the point we earn after the experiment. However, I change my decision in the later part to join in the REPEAT interation.
Seemed like an option with similar results
In a sequential game such as REPEAT, if one acts rationally, both can obtain the optimal payoffs in several rounds, rather than just waiting for free-riding.
In CONTRACT game, it is more likely to predict what other might choose as the interests are aligned, indicated by the maximum payoffs for both.\r\nWhile in the ONCE game, the other participant tends to free ride as there would be no punishments or consequences in the later rounds, which were non-exist.
The reason to keep choosing the CONTRACT game is the same as above.\r\nIn the REPEAT game, the highest possible payoff is (almost) the same as what one could obtain in the CONTRACT game, which was 45 points. But it was more uncertain when it comes to the REPEAT game as you cannot easily predict what the other might choose.
I decided to do ONCE because you cannot be punished for choosing yellow in a future round because it does not exists.
I decided to do ONCE because you can earn more in ONCE compared to the payoffs in CONTRACT.
I chose REPEAT because I figured that the payoffs in that game would be higher than in CONTRACT.
I thought it that it would be more likely for a participant to chose Blue in the first run of REPEAT. This may be either to lure me into choosing Blue as well the next round, or because the other participant realised that if he starts out with choosing yellow, we would likely only earn 20 per round. Since I would not trust him enough anymore to chose Blue. I tried to benefit from that by choosing Yellow the first round, but I am not sure if it was the best strategy, since it meant that we were both earning only 20 points in all of the consequent rounds.
I thought that anybody would choose Blue for CONTRACT unless you would find it more important that others get less than you than that you earn more. I was wrong once, and still don't understand why anybody would choose Yellow in CONTRACT.
Same reasons as in the answer to the previous question: I thought I would be secure of earning 60 (minus 15) points in CONTRACT. In REPEAT I could earn less.
By choosing once there was a greater chance of getting more points
By choosing once there was a chance I would get more points
With repeat I could possibly get more points
Repeat seemed more of an opportunity to let the other participant know that if we both chose BLUE then we have more chance to gain equal points. This is in place of one gaining and the other not gaining at all.
With contract it seemed more likely to lose points. While in ONCE there was a 50% chance you will gain some points.
REPEAT for the same reason, even though you lose out on 15 points it still has a higher likelihood of both participants working together to gain the most equally than losing points equally.
I chose repeat because it was more fun to play that one.
I chose once again because I felt like I could more accurately guess what the other actor would do. Also I felt that the chance of getting more did not weigh up to the price of 15 points that had to be paid.
I chose once because I felt like I could more accurately guess what the other actor would do. It felt more secure that way.
I chose for contract because I did not like the chance factor in repeat and instead felt like I was sure the outcome would be blue;blue in contract
the chances of a higher pay-out seemed higher to me in ONCE, noting the average that would be taken and the subtraction
the chances of a higher pay-out seemed higher to me in ONCE
I felt that with repeat there might be a mutual understanding for choosing blue which in my mind would result in a higher pay-out. With contract the pay-out in itself seemed lower to me
First, I chose ONCE. In ONCE I thought there was more chance of getting 60 or 100 points in my opinion. In REPEAT, I thought I wouldn't earn more than 45 points. But I also wanted to try REPEAT, so second I chose REPEAT.
I chose CONTRACT, because you are pretty sure that you will get 45 points. In ONCE, it is likely you will only get 20 points.
I chose CONTRACT. You are sure of what you will get.
Repeat because it seemed more interesting
In Contract there is only 1 good option, I believed it will be a win win for everyone for sure
I assumed that cooperation is more likely in CONTRACT, so I expected higher payoff.
I found that with REPEAT you would get more chances
I liked the idea of contract more than ONCE even though 15 would be deducted from my earnings.
I chose REPEAT as I found that with REPEAT you could build a system of understanding with your partner and it could work in everybodys favour as you are likely to have multiple chances.
Liberal Arts and Sciences - Social Sciences
Repeat seemed harder since I was not sure how many times I had to play against that person. I myself wanted to go for yellow and if you select yellow in the first round, then it is very likely that the other person doesnot trust you anymore and will go for yellow after round one. The once game was in my opinion a better option, since you did not had to take the minus 15 points into your calculations.
For ONCE I had the expectation that the other person would go for Yellow, I would also go for Yellow and we would both end up with 20. Where I expected that for Contract we both would select Blue, and even with the substraction of 15 points, both earning 45 is better than 20. Therefore I choose for Contract.
For contract I felt most sure about ending up in the blue blue situation, where for repeat there is more insecurity about the outcomes and about the amount of rounds.
I chose Repeat because it has more transparency so people tend to choose blue instead of yellow.
I decided to choose Contract becasue I believed it would guarantee me 60 points as Blue was rational choice for everypne in Contract.
I chose Contract ( as I belived it would ensure 60 points)
i did not want to risk having negative points
choosing cntract meant that at worst i would gain or lose zero
Repeat has lower risk of earning nothing or very little
I didn't really understand the difference between part 2 and 3, so I randomly choose something
In Part 2 I thought I and the other participant can make more money if we play contract
I choose contract because I thought we both could make more money there
I chose ONCE because there was no fine to be paid for playing the mode
penalty\ to be paid for making the choice
switching things up\ then a choice of making more profit
ONCE would probably have turned out yellow and REPEAT gave me the chance of getting a higher yield.
CONTRACT had a higher chance of getting a 60-60 spread, since choosing yellow was lucrative. I try to get stable earnings of points in these experiments, so choosing CONTRACT was the most logical option.
I expected CONTRACT its yield to be higher since there were higher incentives for getting a 60-60 spread. REPEAT came with the danger that you would get 0 or only 20 while still getting a 15 penalty.
repeat was more likely to make me earn more money
contract was too complicated to make a choice
I was hoping people would choose blue en therefore have the most equal pay for both. If this was the case, ONCE would be more profitable. Alas, people seemed quite self-centered.
Seeing how people got punished I figured they would be more likely to choose the more equal one, so blue. Therefore it would be more profitable to both pick blue and get more point than with yellow. Since people in ONCE appeared to pick yellow pretty consistantly this seemed the more safe choice.
I chose contract because of the reasons mentioned before. I didn't particularely like the repeat option since you still had a pretty good chance people would choose yellow anyway.
Once, because you could not lose any points.
Once, because you could not lose points. Contract because I thought everyone would pick Blue.
Repeat, because you could just put Yellow and earn at least 20 points on every round.
Repeat is better, it has more chance to make an average of 60 payoff because you can work together
Contract is the better option, almost guaranteed payoff of 60 (minus 15) if the other party is not stupid. ONCE gives 20 because yellow is the logical option.
Contract is the better option, almost guaranteed payoff of 60 (minus 15). Repeat you can get mistreated if after working together for blue/blue the other party decides to go yellow
I choose  ONCE to have an instant and safe gain
I chose different ccomand to try everything
I did not want to be penalized with -15 points.
Again, I went with the choice with which I would not lose 15 points.
I saw I would maximize my points if I chose CONTRACT over REPEAT.
I choose ONCE because I had fewer risks to loose points
I choose ONCE because I had fewer risks to loose points. I was sure to earn at least few points.
I choose REPEAT because I had fewer risks to loose points
To see how people react in different situations and under different motivations
Better chance of both choosing blue over several rounds.
Less likelyhood of the other person choosing yellow in contract. Obviously I was wrong and the other person is either a moron or a sociopath.
Contract because I thought the other person would never choose yellow. Repeat after since the other person did inexplicably choose yellow.
I thought I would make more money in REPEAT
In ONCE, you had to hope for the other persno to choose blue as well, while in REPEAT, even if the other choose yellow, you could still earn something in the next round, hoping for blue of the other person.
punished\ if you choose yellow, and having blue would give both persons most points. That is why I choose CONTRACT, but sadly ended up in ONCE.
Both costs 5 points and in CONTRACT choosing blue would benefit both persons the most.
I chose once because if I chose yellow, I'd get the highest possible earnings, which I did one of the times as the other person chose blue.
I chose contract because you can get high earnings if both choose blue. If both choose yellow in once, the earnings are much less.
I chose contract because the earnings would be higher if both chose blue than an average of periods in repeat.
Repeat averages out any losses I would have made, had the other participant chosen yellow.
Contract doesn't have as harsh a loss if the other participant chose yellow and I blue. There is no incentive to choose yellow.
With contract, there is one best choice for both participants, so averaging out any losses would be unneccessary.
Contract is garanteed 55 where as once is risky
contract you know you get 55, repeat is risky
i believed that with repeat, the chance of someone picking yellow to be much higher, hence i picked once\r\n
i blieved that in contract individuals would pick blue, so i picked contract
similar reasoning to the statement above
If you can take the decision the other person made in the first round in to account, the second time you can take a more informed decision. So the little bit of extra knowledge that you get from doing multiple rounds instead of just one interaction can help you get more earnings.
I thought that in contract, people are most likely to choose blue. For me personally I would love it if everyone always chose blue, and in Contract the chances of the other person choosing blue were a little higher
Again, I felt like the chances of the other person choosing blue were highest in contract. Knowing this, I could also choose blue with less risk than in Repeat
information exchange\ or coming to a concensus.
I realised that in ONCE, other participants would choose for Yellow (while actually choosing blue both would be more profitable for both). I realised that for Contract, choosing Blue would be more profitable for everyone in any case.
In Part 2 I realised that interacting in Repeat did not lead to a concensus; other participants were still just choosing for Yellow. So, as in Contract blue was the most profitable, I chose blue.
I first chose REPEAT, hoping it would get me more points, as I believed it was more probable that we both chose Blue multiple times. However, we only interacted once (and I ended up losing the 5 points as well), so then I went to try ONCE.
I chose both; CONTRAT because I wanted to ensure some points (I believed it was highly probable that we both chose Blue), and then I chose ONCE, wanting to take the risk, so as to earn the 100 points.
Once again I chose each one once. I first chose REPEAT, hoping it would get me more points, as I believed it was more probable that we both chose Blue multiple times. However, the other participant chose Yellow after the first Period, so I ended up regretting the decision. I, then, chose CONTRAT as a safer option.
Selecting Yellow in REPEAT was a sensible gamble, as you gained either way the random number selector operated.
The possibility of marginal gain was better for ONCE than for CONTRACT.\r\nThe premise behind ONCE was simpler, so this also guided my choice.
REPEAT was worth the gamble because a cost was attributed to either decision, so it made sense to choose the option that might give several opportunities to accumulate points.
Have more chances of earning more points.
i chose contract because in this case even if I chose blue ( to try to earn more) and the other player chose Yellow (because of risk aversion for example) I ended up with 15 euro, which is better than 0. Hence Contract in this case always give the possibility to earn money
Repeat seemed to offer the prospect of more rounds to make earnings. Also this play form allowed for an exchange of feedback, possible resulting in rational behavior that optimizes gains for both parties.
I figured that if the ONCE game form consisted of multiple rounds, each round would offer an independent chance to maximize profit, not reliant upon earlier decisions or the trust of other participants.
Repeat seemed to offer the benefit that if my fellow participant would not choose blue in the first round, but would in the second round, then my loss would be evened out by the other gain.
I chose CONTRACT because if the other participant was so stupid not to see that both choosing ' blue'  would be the way to earn the most money, and thus chose ' yellow'  instead, at least I would earn a bit more than the 0 in ONCE.
In ONCE you can earn more money (if the other participant also chooses ' blue'  - and I never understand why they don't) since 5 points will be substracted in you choose REPEAT.
In CONTRACT there is a more equal way of distributing the money so I hope the other participant will also choose ' blue'. That way you can earn more than if you choose REPEAT and the other participant decides to screw you.
it was the simple option in my mind and more straight forward
I though the other person will always chose yellow in all the options and it is actually what happened, felt frustrated
With repeat you could have more interactions and get to know the other participant but it ended up being clear when yellow was the only thing s/he pressed
thhinking the other participant would choose yellow
Not knowing what would be the choice from the other participant
I chose ONCE, because I would always choose Yellow since that choice garantees that you earn at least something. For ONCE you can earn either 100 or 20, for CONTRACT it is only 40 or 20.
I chose ONCE, because (again) I would always choose Yellow. Since you get paired with another participant (even if it is the same participant) after each round, I thought the chance would be more likely that the other participant chooses Blue, which would get me 100 points. If I chose REPEAT, and my participant would stay the same, I thought he/she would not choose Blue after I have chosen Yellow once.
I chose REPEAT, because I took a shot that the other participant would chose Blue sometimes, despite that I would choose Yellow. Sometimes I even chose Blue as I hoped to get 60 points.
Likewise, the lowest amount of points I could earn in ONCE by choosing yellow was 20, but it was not true if I had chosen REPEAT
I chose once over contract because I was insured at least 20 points in ONCE.
I thought the other participant would most likely choose Blue in contract which would result in 60 points for each
I chose once because in scenario of 4times yellow&yellow, the earning would be 20-15=5. Whereas once is 20 minimum if you chose yellow
It is likely that the person would choose yellow in all experiments, so the earning of yellow&yellow is the same. Then 20 is guarantee without any deduction.
If I chose contract in case yellow&yellow, the return is 15-15=0. Whereas if i chose repeat the worst case scenario of chosing yellow each time will make you 5. (20x4/4) - 15 = 5. Maybe you are withdrawn ealier so earning are higher, and there is a bigger possibility that the other participant would chose blue and i earn 100 over 4 times
It's more likely to end up with zero in ONCE , because of my belief that since contract is less risky and less marginal benefit people would choose blue.
In either case , 15 points would be subtracted so in repeat I have the chance to adjust my game according to my pair's decisions is more likely
I first chose ONCE to see if my prediction that a randomly chosen other participant would opt for yellow. In phase 2 I chose REPEAT to see if I could incentivise my opponent to default to blue by matching their previous choice, but realised very quickly this was not going to happen, as choosing blue carries a higher risk for loss and lower risk for reward.
CONTRACT very strongly incentivises cooperation (blue), even when participation cost is taken into account. ONCE incentivises not only a more risky approach, but not sharing (yellow) as well, as choosing blue risks earning you nothing, whereas yellow always earns you something.
I chose CONTRACT in accordance with my previous choice explanations: as REPEAT incentivises a choice for yellow, this would lead to smaller returns in earnings, as one could expect an outcome of yellow-yellow every time. CONTRACT, however, incentivises blue-blue, which would more consistently lead to a slightly higher return.
With repeat it was more likely the other one would choose Blue, because there was a big chance you would see each other again. And both taking Blue results in a higher outcome than chosing Yellow.
Because both had costs I only focused on the normal earnings. And with contract you are forced to choose Blue, because that has the highest outcome, and the only reason to choose Yellow is if you want a higher outcome than the other person. The chance of getting a higher outcome was bigger if you choose for contract than for repeat.
Contract as safe choice to gain the maximum for both (if the other actually is aware of that)
I had realized that the others in contract mostly did not choose blue, which made the gains very small for myself. So I decided to switch the method in order to gain more.
I chose Repeat because in ONCE most people choose Yellow to be safe and get 20 points. Repeat has a good chance playing with the opponent to make sure we both get points by either going for blues or getting a lucky 100 with yellow.
Contract. Because if the other person has knowingly chosen Contract that means he knows blue is the best bet to get more points. And we both would want to choose blue to get points for each other.
Contract has a sure shot way of earning 45 points if the other person has understood it well.
Contract, to see if i was able to make more decisions.
I chose both I think. I just wanted to be able to participate in both and see if there was any difference with the reactions of other participants.
I chose REPEAT because I thought we could earn both the most money if we both choose BLUE several times, so it can be more profitable than ONCE. Unfortunately the other participant chose YELLOW after two times BLUE.
I chose ONCE because I thought it is the most efficient if both of us choose BLUE right away. Unfortunately I was too trustful and the other participant chose twice YELLOW.
I chose REPEAT because I thought it is more profitable than CONTRACT if both chose BLUE several times. However the other participant went for YELLOW
I chose REPEAT because again yellow was slow but steady way to earn some money.
I chose once because it was possible the other participant would choose blue and I would chose yellow even if there was less money involved.
I chose CONTRACT because I thought this time it is a possibility that other participant might chose blue
Repeat had more social control, because you (probably) had to play another round together
It felt safer to choose contract, if you would make the decision to pick blue and the other one would pick yellow. You would have 15 point - 15 = 0. In repeat you could get kicked out if you picked blue en the other one yellow, you would have 0 points - 15 = -15 points.
I chose REPEAT because there would be more opportunity to get more points. In ONCE you only get one chance, and you'll most likely make 20 or 0.
I chose ONCe (I think), because there would be a chance of getting 100 points.
I chose CONTRACT, because I thought it would be certain I'd get 45 points instead of likely less if I chose REPEAT.
you play more times with repeat so i choose that for start. No other reason i guess
With repeat you have the chance to earn more.
With Once you have the chance to earn more.
To be honest i wanted to play around and see what the results would be so i took a chance. At this point it seemed more advantageous to play around.
After experiencing Repeat the idea of contract seemed to be a more sure bet to gain with not much loss and also have the other participant gain too, if they saw they same patterns i did. Whereas once was a safe option but odds were in favour of contract.
Observation was that the person likely saw that it is a safer and more likely way for both individuals to gain rather than battle over spoils as repeat has no gurantee of high earning due to the random number drawn by the algorythm therefore the fact that what you earn is what you keep from contract, no algorythm making decisions for you and logical deduction lead me to my choice.
I studied how i would earn more money, or at least, money for sure
I chose ONCE mostly because of the chances of earning more money.
I chose ONCE mostly because of the chances of earning more money, considering the 15 points of discount.
If chose REPEAT because i wanted to see how the other partcipants interact having the chance to see your decision. In this stage i earn less money considering the decisions that we made, so my theory of chosing ONCE in the previous stages was right i think.
I want to finish the game as soon as possible, and I don't need to make decision depending on the previous results I have. I only need to think once to choose the color.
The uncertainty of result is much higher compared to CONTRACT. I believe most people would choose BLUE in CONTRACT, and I can get 45 points even if it cost me 15 points. However, in ONCE, the chance of YELLOW of the paired participants is 50/50, and it would be safer to choose YELLOW in ONCE. The possibility of getting only 20 points is really high, and which is much less than the result of CONTRACT even if it doesn't cost me at all.
I believe that the result of REPEAT and CONTRACT would be the same, and I don't want to waste more time to get the same result.
ONCE could save time. And it is more likely to be win-to-win.
CONTRACT for me was the most clear way to choose blue for me and the other participant
I didn't want to lose any money so chose the safest option, which was ONCE.
I chose the option that would allow me to maximise my income the most, which was CONTRACT.
not worth it playing the additional rounds.
contract always increases overall welfare. Players and incentivized to play BLUE.
Same reason as in the previous question.
I chose ONCE because in repeate the earnings are divided by the number of perios carried out and therefore the overall earnings would be less.
I chose ONCE because I had a greater possibility of earning 100 points than in CONTRACT.
I chose CONTRACT in part 4 becasue in REPEAT the earnings are divided by the number of perios carried out and therefore the overall total amount earned would be much less.
Because REPEAT had a cost, it was nearly impossible to get a higher score than the lowest score in ONCE. For example, if I had been lucky and I would have chosen blue all rounds and my partner would have also chosen blue in all rounds of REPEAT, I would still only earn 15 while in ONCE I had the possibility of 20 and 100 if I played it safe by choosing Yellow. This is why I had no difficulty choosing ONCE.
As I mentioned above as well, CONTRACt also had a cost. If choosing ONCE and Yellow, you could earn 20. While with CONTRACT and the cost, it was very difficult to even earn something instead of losing points, and even if you would earn some points the max would be 15. This is why I did not find it difficult to choose ONCE.
Both had a cost, so for me it was choosing the option where I would have the chance of loosing as little as possible. With CONTRACT you only had one chance and it would have been very small. With REPEAT you could try to manipulate the other player to keep choosing Blue, so you would not loose any points. This is why I went for REPEAT, hoping I could work together with the other person to not loose any points.
I don't remember what I actually did in Part 2
Contract would have been expensive, so I chose ONCE.
Repeat ensured maximum minimum income, so I chose it.
Most people will choose yellow. In the ONCE game you will earn 20 points but in de REPEAT game you will probably earn about 60-45=15 points.
With contract the highest outcome would be 60-45=15 points and in ONCE you could get 20. 60 or 100 points.
With both games you would get -45, and in repeat there is a higher chance that the other player will choice blue in one of the rounds, so the payoff would be higher.
Once carried less down side risk because it was associated with no intial cost.
Once carried less down side risk because it was associated with no initial cost.
In contract, down side risk was smaller due to a more fair distribution of earnings. I also felt as though other participants who choose contract are more likely to cooperate than those that choose repeat.
Once you get more points, than gambeling with the choise for repeat
You could earn more by choising contract than repeat
ONCE option provides no possibility to observe what kind of person we're dealing to. And I'm pretty sure that most people would pick yellow instead of blue which lead to 20 points only. Therefore, I chose REPEAT with the thought of maybe I can make a Blue-Blue deal with the person I am paired with.
I though that the deduction for CONTRACT (- 45 points) will be made after several pairings. If I knew that it would be deducted for each dealings then I would have chosen ONCE because in the end we can get 20 points at minimum, while in contract the maximum is 15 points.
CONTRACT is less risk deal because the deduction is made for both options and I doubt anyone would pick Blue in REPEAT at this stage.
the earning points. i thimk i will receive more if i choose once after considering the substraction point and possibility
the susbtraction points counts for contract
possibility earning points more if i choose repeat rather than contract. because for this part, 45 points will be substracted no matter what choice I make
Repeat gives you the chance to do it more than once
I choose ONCE because at REPEAT you were punished with 45 points. I thought it would be hard to earn the same as with ONCE.
I choose CONTRACT because I thought there was a big chance to get the other person choose for blue
CONTRACT was more safe for me, because I expect people to choose blue there
The subtraction of 45 points made me choose ONCE, it also has a better wager, as in, you are likely to earn more points without any subtraction.
Took a risk by choosing CONTRACT to see how the earnings would be.
REPEAT had better wagers, as choice did not matter because 45 points were going to deducted anyway. In REPEAT there is a probability of earning slight better.
again contract didnt seem worth the -45 points
You wouldn't get many more points if you chose repeat, and you risk losing points.
Highest chance of earning points in contract, because you would hope people are smart enough to choose blue in that interaction.
Did not want to lose points right at the beginning
Try something else, play more rounds of the game
I havent tried it out yet, the repeat, so I was curious to do so
Because in contract I was never not winning some points
For not having my points as an average I also felt it was an easier win win
Contract is easier for having a better idea of what the other participant may choose
contract seems like a deal that both people choose blue, more profitable for both
repeat just has more sessions so i thought id win more, but at the end is rounded up so you actually dont win more. but it was more fun
Wanted to know if I could earn more points with repeat than with once.
The most save option with the highest reward for both of the players
Contract is safe, I took for granted no one would chose something other than blue and therefore I would get 60 for sure. Choosing Once only makes sense when you take yellow, in this case it is quite unlikely that the other person chooses blue.
In repeat, people are more likely to cooperate and choose blue because once they have chosen yellow and the experiment continues, the other person is likely never going to chose blue again, therefore earnings will likely be equal or smaller than 60.
Contract is safe, risk for repeat would have been to big and earnings possibly lower.
I chose contract as it has blue as the dominant strategy for both participants.
I chose ONCE as I wanted to see how the other participant would react to this prisoners dilemma instead of the repeated game theory.
I choose ONCE necause the Nash equilibrium is (Yellow: Yellow) with a payoff for me of 20. The Nash equilibria in Contract are (Blue: Blue) and (Yellow: Yellow), but 5 points will get deducted. So I was not sure how to estimate it because in ONCE I`ll get for sure at least 20, but in CONTRACT I could also only get 10 (15-5) at the end. If I choose the yellow (and the other participant chooses also yellow) I will only end up with 15 points, so it was a bit risky for me and I choose the safer option of ONCE.
I choose ONCE because the Nash equilibrium is in both games the same but when I always choose yellow as well as the other participant we get on average in the REPEAT game always 15 and in the ONCE game I get for sure at least 20. So I choose the less riskier version, and took ONCE.
I choose CONTRACT because there are two Nash equilibria and (Blue: Blue) has the higher payoff even compared to REPEAT, where the Nash equilibria is (Yellow: Yellow), and there is only a 75% chance that the game will get in the next stage. I think in Part 4 CONTRACT is the better choice, if one wants to have a higher chance of higher payoffs.
I believed that in CONTRACT people had more motivation to choose BLUE, and since this is the pareto optimal outcome, I prefer this. Beat the prisoners dilemma.
Person did not choose BLUE in contract, even though that person made a loss, irational, so chose REPEAT now = More fun.
I chose once to give it a chance as there wasn't the contract fee
I chose once for a different opportunity
I chose contract because I got stuck in 7 rounds of repeat and didn't want to continue it. Also because there a point deduction either way
I chose once because it had the chance of making more money. After that I chose contract because I wanted to play more safe and also give money to the other participant.
I found repeat complicated and more risky of losing money because your participant can trick you by choosing blue in the first round and then you think you have to choose blue in the second round and then they choose yellow the second round.
Contract because you can be quite sure you make 60 points and repeat is more complicated. I also don't like playing over the other participants by choosing yellow in repeat and making 100. and giving them 0.
liberal arts and science (politics and anthropology)
In CONTRACT the chance of both participants choosing Blue was very high. The chance that both participants would choose Blue in ONCE would be much lower. It would have been more likely that both participants had chosen Yellow, which means both would earn less.
For ONCE I had a larger chance of getting 100 points than in the REPEAT mode.
In CONTRACT the chance that both participants chose blue was very high. In REPEAT that chance of both participants choosing blue was lower.
There' s more chance of participating on the decisions of the other player in repeat.
in contract you' re reassured of gaining points, and it' s more benificial for both players to choose blue so you' d expect that the other player will choose blue too in contract.
REPEAT implied the subtraction of 15 points while ONCE didn't.
CONTRACT implied the subtraction of 15 points while ONCE didn't.
In CONTRACT there was the security of winning at least 15 point, while in REPEAT you could get even 0.
REPEAT would lead to 15 points substract, but still it seemed to me that there was more chance to make more points with REPEAT, because there was 75% chance everytime that there was another round and I thought the more rounds I can play, the more points I can earn.
If I would choose for contract, 15 points would be substracted at the end. I thougt that therefore I would make more chance to earn more points when I would choose ONCE.
Both choices would lead to a substraction of 15 points, so then it seemed to me that there was more chance to earn points with REPEAT than with CONTRACT.
DELETE THIS OBSERVATION (Quit from Part 3, computer 25)
Repeat gave you more chances to play and earn.
Contract seemed to have more chances to earn more.
Contract seemed more safe way to earn more.
I chose ONCE since I don't need to lose 15points from choosing the REPEAT
I chose ONCE since I don't need to lose 15points from choosing the CONTRACT
I chose REPEAT since we have more chance of earning more in the next round.
I again chose ONCE to avoid the 15 points cost, since there was a chance REEAT would've ended after just 1 round so I may have ended with less points because of the cost.
I chose ONCE because it did not have the 15 points cost associated with it, so it seemed like the clear choice, and it was simpler to understand its instructions.
I chose REPEAT because i found the CONTRACT instructions a bit more confusing in the table.
In repeat i thought that the other participant would also choose blue, so then the earning would be higher compared to once, because I assumed that I would earn 20 there.
In contract i thought it would be most likely to earn 60-15=45, while in one i thought it would be most likely to earn 20, so 45>20, so that is why is chose contract.
The repeat in part 3 did not turn out how I thought it would be and only costed me money, while contract gave 45, so that is why I chose contract.
