Interaction of Social Norms and Individual Preferences in Bargaining
While social norms establish a baseline or starting point for negotiations, the final outcome is not solely determined by them. Individual preferences play a crucial role, causing some people to adhere to the norm, while others may act more selfishly or generously. The ultimate resolution of a bargain depends on the interplay between the prevailing social norm and the specific preferences of the individuals involved.

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.

The Found Wallet Dilemma
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.
