In a one-shot economic interaction, a 'Proposer' is allocated $100 and must offer a portion to a 'Responder'. If the Responder accepts the split, they both get paid accordingly. If the Responder rejects the split, both receive nothing. The Proposer offers the Responder $10. The Responder rejects the offer. From the perspective of a purely self-interested individual, this rejection is irrational. Which statement best analyzes the Responder's action by incorporating the influence of social preferences?

Interpreting Bargaining Experiment Results
In a bargaining experiment, a 'Proposer' offers a split of $100 to a 'Responder'. If the Responder rejects the offer, both get nothing. The experiment is run under two conditions:
- Condition 1: Proposers are chosen randomly.
- Condition 2: Proposers earn their role by scoring highest on a general knowledge quiz.
The results show that for any offer below $40, Responders in Condition 2 are significantly more likely to reject the offer than Responders in Condition 1.
Which of the following statements provides the most robust evaluation of this outcome?
