Figure 2. Choice behavior for restoring justice.

Figure 2

We compute endorsement rates by the frequency an option is selected from all available trials, such that each option’s endorsement rate is out of 100%. A) Results (n=112) reveal that compensation is the most preferred choice, even when offered highly unfair splits. B) The choice pair compensate v reverse (game structure illustrated in Figure 1B) equates for Player B’s fiscal efficiency, such that Player B can both compensate himself and punish Player A at no cost. Even when punishment is free, participants significantly prefer to compensate themselves and apply no punishment to Player A; Pearson’s X2=9, 1df, p=0.003, φ=0.15.
