In a one-time interaction, two individuals must decide how to split $100. One person, the Proposer, suggests a split. The other, the Responder, can either accept the split (and both get the money) or reject it (and neither gets any money). The Responder has determined that the personal satisfaction gained from rejecting a perceived unfair offer is equivalent to receiving $35. If the Proposer offers the Responder exactly $35, which of the following statements best analyzes the Responder's decision?

Analyzing the Responder's Trade-Off

Predicting a Responder's Decision

In a one-time negotiation over a $100 sum, one person proposes a split and a second person can accept or reject it (if rejected, neither gets anything). The second person has determined that the personal satisfaction from rejecting a proposal they deem unfair is equivalent to receiving $35.

Statement: If the first person offers exactly $35, the second person will always choose to accept the offer.

In a one-time negotiation, two individuals must split $100. One person proposes a split, and the other (the Responder) can accept or reject it. If rejected, neither person receives money. The Responder has determined that the personal satisfaction from rejecting a perceived unfair offer is equivalent to receiving $35. Match each potential offer amount to the Responder's evaluation of that offer.

In a one-time negotiation over a $100 sum, one person proposes a split, and a Responder can accept or reject it. If the offer is rejected, neither party receives any money. The Responder is observed to accept any offer greater than $35 and reject any offer less than $35. This behavior implies that the non-monetary satisfaction the Responder gets from rejecting a perceived unfair offer is valued at exactly $____.

Advising the Proposer's Optimal Strategy

A person (the Responder) is part of a one-time negotiation to split $100. Another person (the Proposer) makes an offer. The Responder can either accept the split or reject it, in which case neither person gets any money. The Responder has determined that the personal satisfaction they get from rejecting a perceived unfair offer is equivalent to receiving $35. Arrange the following steps to reflect the logical sequence of the Responder's decision-making process when they receive an offer.

Deducing a Responder's Valuation

In a one-time interaction, a Proposer and a Responder must decide how to split $100. The Proposer suggests a split, and the Responder can either accept it (they both get the money) or reject it (neither gets any money). The Responder values the satisfaction of rejecting a perceived unfair offer as being equivalent to receiving $35. As the Proposer, which of the following offers would maximize your own payoff while ensuring the Responder accepts the deal?
