Using the Ultimatum Game to Study Social Preferences and Rent Sharing
Ultimatum game experiments provide valuable insights into how individuals choose to divide economic rents in their interactions. By observing the decisions participants make, researchers can investigate their underlying motives and social preferences, including pure self-interest, altruism, inequality aversion, and reciprocity, and understand how these factors guide economic choices.

In a one-shot ultimatum game involving a $100 prize, which of the following scenarios presents the biggest challenge to the assumption that individuals act purely out of self-interest to maximize their own financial gain?
Analyzing a Seemingly Irrational Economic Decision
A two-person game is structured as follows: Player 1 (the Proposer) is given a sum of money and must offer a portion of it to Player 2 (the Responder). The Responder can then either accept the offer, in which case the money is split as proposed, or reject it, in which case both players receive nothing. Arrange the following events of a single round of this game in the correct chronological order.
According to a model where individuals are assumed to be perfectly rational and motivated solely by self-interest, a Responder in the ultimatum game should reject any offer they perceive as unfair, even if it is greater than zero.

Using the Ultimatum Game to Study Social Preferences and Rent Sharing
In a standard, one-shot ultimatum game, a 'Proposer' is allocated $100 and offers $10 to a 'Responder'. The Responder, who knows the total amount, rejects the offer, resulting in both players receiving $0. Based on common experimental findings, which of the following statements provides the best analysis of the Responder's behavior?
Evaluating Social Norms in Strategic Interactions
Evaluating Behavioral Models in Strategic Interactions
In a strategic interaction where one person (the 'Proposer') suggests how to divide a sum of money and a second person (the 'Responder') can either accept or reject the proposal (in which case neither gets anything), various factors can explain the final outcome. Match each motivating factor to its corresponding description.
In a one-shot interaction where one person proposes how to divide a sum of money and another can accept or reject the offer, assume the prevailing social norm is a 50/50 split. A Proposer who offers a 60/40 split can be certain the offer will be accepted because the Responder is still financially better off than if they reject it.

Comparative Analysis of Strategic Interactions
In a strategic interaction where a 'Proposer' offers a division of a sum of money and a 'Responder' can either accept or reject it, a Responder who turns down a small but positive offer is often punishing the Proposer for violating a social norm of fairness. This motivation, where an individual responds to a perceived unkindness even at a personal cost, is known as a preference for ______.

Influence of Competition on Negotiation Outcomes
In an experiment, one participant (the Proposer) is given $100 and must offer a portion of it to a second participant (the Responder). The Responder can either accept the offer, in which case they both get the money as proposed, or reject it, in which case neither participant receives any money. The data from many rounds of this one-shot interaction show two key patterns: (1) The most frequent offer made by Proposers is $50, and (2) Responders typically reject any offer below $30. What is the most likely explanation for these observed behaviors?
Predicting Behavior in a Modified Bargaining Game
In a one-shot bargaining experiment, a 'Proposer' suggests how to split a sum of money with a 'Responder'. The Responder can accept or reject the offer; if rejected, neither person receives anything. Match each observed action to the underlying motivation it most strongly demonstrates.

In a one-shot bargaining experiment where one person proposes a split of $100 and another accepts or rejects it (with rejection meaning neither gets anything), a Proposer offering only $1 demonstrates a purely rational, self-interested strategy that maximizes their expected monetary payoff.
