Interaction of Social Norms and Individual Preferences in Bargaining
Social norms establish a starting point in bargaining, but the final outcome is not solely dictated by them. Individual preferences cause people to react differently to a norm; some may act more selfishly and others more generously than the norm requires. Consequently, the resolution of a bargain is a product of the interaction between the social norm and the specific preferences of the participants.

Dividing the Asset
Imagine a negotiation where a Proposer must offer a split of $100 to a single Responder. If the Responder accepts, the money is split as proposed; if they reject, neither person receives anything. Now, consider a change to this structure: the Proposer still has $100 but now faces two Responders. The Proposer makes a single take-it-or-leave-it offer, and the first Responder to accept it gets the offered amount, while the Proposer keeps the remainder. How would the introduction of a second Responder most likely affect the share of the $100 that the Proposer offers?
Explaining Different Bargaining Outcomes
In any negotiation, the final outcome is influenced by the 'rules of the game' (the institutional structure of the interaction) and the 'preferences' of the participants (their personal values, such as fairness or self-interest). For each scenario described in the left column, match it to the primary determinant in the right column that best explains the behavior or outcome.
True or False: In a one-time negotiation to split a sum of money, if the only preference of both participants is to maximize their own personal gain, the specific process used for the negotiation (e.g., who makes the first offer, whether counter-offers are allowed) will not affect the final division of the money.
Evaluating a Bargaining Outcome

Bargaining Outcome Analysis
In a community project, two volunteers, Sam and Pat, are tasked with dividing a surplus of 100 resource credits. The established community norm for such situations is an equal 50/50 split. However, after their discussion, Sam receives 65 credits and Pat receives 35. Assuming no coercion was involved, which statement best analyzes this outcome?
In any bargaining situation, the final outcome will always conform to the prevailing social norm, as individual preferences are secondary and do not ultimately influence the division of resources.

Four different bargaining scenarios are described below. Match each scenario with the primary influence that best explains its outcome.
Predicting Bargaining Outcomes
Two business partners, Alex and Ben, must decide how to split a $10,000 project bonus. The established norm in their industry for such collaborations is a 50/50 split. Alex is known for being highly assertive and prioritizing personal gain, while Ben is known for being more accommodating and valuing a harmonious working relationship above maximizing his own share. Given these individual characteristics, which of the following outcomes is the most plausible?
Two business partners are dividing a project's profits. The standard practice in their industry (the social norm) is a 50/50 split. However, they agree on a 60/40 split.
