Experimental design. A within-subject design with 8 trials for each condition has been used to test the planned comparisons. The table presents each independent variable with its respective levels and number of trials. The Social Valence is the Dictators’ attitude toward the participant and includes Social Acceptance and Social Rejection. The Personal Valence indicates the personal convenience of the offer towards the participant: Favorable offers provided more money (for the economic game) and less pain (for the Pain Dictator Game) to the participants compared to the Dictator, while Unfavorable offers, viceversa, provided less money and more pain to the participants compared to the Dictator. The Moral Valence represents the offer equity according to the payoff apportion proposed: Very Iniquitous/Iniquitous/Slightly Iniquitous/Equitable.
