This table reports the results of two ordinary least squares regression models predicting whether a StepUp participant in our experiment chose to donate their incentives in study 2 (1 = yes, donated; 0 = no, did not donate). Model 1 shows the main effect of our treatment while model 2 shows moderation. Predictors in model 1 include an indicator for being assigned to the treatment condition, fixed effects for a participant’s StepUp program, the amount of cash earned by the participant, and indicators for the participant’s sex (female omitted). Model 2 includes two additional predictors to test for moderation. These additional predictors are the (mean-centered) number of times the participant visited the gym during the StepUp program and an interaction between this variable and assignment to our treatment condition. Robust SEs are in parentheses. *, **, and *** denote significance at the 5%, 1%, and 0.1% levels, respectively.
