Model for player 1: 1,781 observations of n = 667 participants, nested in 14 federal German states. Model for player 2: 1,798 observations of n = 667 participants, nested in 13 federal German states. Logarithmized household income and points received by player 1 were grand mean-centered; state-level inequality (Gini index) was centered across states, and the year was dummy-coded with 2003 as the reference year. SEs and z values are provided in SI Appendix, Table S8.
