Comparing Bargaining Outcomes
Two independent pairs of colleagues, (Alex & Ben) and (Chloe & David), must each decide how to split a $100 bonus. The established norm in their shared workplace is an equal 50/50 split. Alex and Ben quickly agree to a $50/$50 split. Chloe and David, after some negotiation, agree to a $70/$30 split in Chloe's favor. Based on this information, analyze the most likely differences in the individual preferences of the people in each pair that led to these two distinct outcomes.

In a bargaining situation where a strong social norm for a 50/50 split exists, the final agreement will invariably be a 50/50 split, as the power of the social norm overrides any individual's personal preference for a different outcome.
Two individuals find a lost $100 bill. The widely accepted social norm in their community for such a situation is to split the money equally. Match each individual's described preference type with the most likely bargaining proposal they would make.
