Analyzing Reciprocal Behavior
In a scenario where a Proposer offers to split $100 with a Responder, the Responder can either accept the split or reject it, in which case both receive nothing. Consider two potential Responders: Responder A has a reciprocity motive strength of R=0, while Responder B has a very high positive reciprocity motive strength (a large R value). If the Proposer offers the Responder $5, which of the following outcomes is most likely?
Comparing Responses Based on Reciprocity
In a bargaining game where one person proposes a split of $100 and another person can accept or reject it, an individual with a stronger reciprocity motive (a larger R value) will have a lower minimum monetary amount they are willing to accept compared to someone with a weaker reciprocity motive (a smaller, but still positive, R value).
In a bargaining scenario, a Responder's willingness to accept or reject an offer is influenced by their reciprocity motive, which is quantified by a parameter R. A higher R value indicates a stronger desire to punish unfair behavior. Match each player description, defined by their R value, to the corresponding behavioral tendency.

Inferring Reciprocity from Behavior
In a bargaining game where one person proposes how to split $100, a second person (the Responder) can either accept or reject the offer. If rejected, both get nothing. The Responder's decision is influenced by a 'reciprocity motive' (R), where a higher R value indicates a stronger desire to punish offers perceived as unfair. Consider three Responders with different R values. Arrange these Responders in order from the lowest minimum offer they would be willing to accept to the highest.
In a bargaining game where one person's decision-making is influenced by their attitude towards fairness, a reciprocity motive strength of R=0 indicates that the individual's behavior is purely ____.
In a bargaining situation, a Proposer offers a Responder $20 out of a total of $100. The established social norm for a fair split is $50. The Responder's decision is based on comparing the monetary gain from accepting the offer against the satisfaction derived from rejecting an unfair offer. The satisfaction from rejecting is calculated as
R * (Fair Offer - Actual Offer), where R is the strength of the Responder's reciprocity motive. The Responder will reject the offer if the satisfaction from
