Table 2. Evidence for heterogeneity in the behavior of the population.

type of player experiment 1 control experiment 2
pure cooperators 1 1 6
mostly cooperators 2 2 3
conditional cooperators 125 92 91
mostly defectors 26 36 36
pure defectors 15 38 33

Frequency of the different types of players in the three parts of the experiment. Mostly defectors are people who defected more than 2/3 of the times in any context, mostly cooperators are those who cooperated more than 2/3 of the times in any context, and conditional cooperators follow the strategy described in the main text.
