Table 1.

Summary statistics of demographic variables and sample sizes for the study populations. Three hundred and forty-four individuals participated as proposers and 340 as responders in UGs played across 21 villages. The total number of proposers differs from the total number of responders since in eight villages an odd number of individuals participated in the games. In these villages, one individual was paired randomly with two other players from the village in order to determine the payoff to all participating players. The mean age±s.d. of participants was 35.57±12.49 years and 44% were female.
