Fig 3. Money Entrusted to Robbers in Experiment 2.

During the Trust Game, participants entrusted the most amount of money to the kind robber (A) and the least amount to the greedy robber (I). While the kind robber’s partner (B) was trusted with more money than a stranger (Novel), the greedy robber’s partner (J) was trusted with the same amount as a stranger. Unlike the results from Experiment with dictators, in the loss domain, participants exhibited asymmetric blocking effects, where kind robber’s partners acquired positive social value, but greedy robber’s partners failed to acquire any social value.
