STEM4Youth: Games xAire

STEM4Youth: Games xAire Data collected during the performance STEM4Youth: Games xAire in Barcelona (Spain) during two performances, the first in CCCB on April 23th, 2018, and the second in Ciutadella on June 9th and 10th, 2018 The participants played a public goods game. There were 6 experimental stations, one per individual, spatially distributed so that participants could not see each other. Also, they were rigorously prevented from talking or signaling one another. To further guarantee that potential interactions among players did not influence the results of the experiment, the assignment of players’ partners was completely random. All of the participants played through Citizen Social Lab, a web interface specifically developed for the experiment. The participants were shown a brief tutorial, but were not given any clue. They were informed that they had to make decisions under different conditions and against different opponents. We made sure the interface be the most simple and understandable to ensure the correct understanding of the tasks. Also, the interface was the same for everybody. We made sure to avoid the research be upsetting or harmful for the participants by presenting the experiment as a game and playful activity. One researcher closely monitored each session to guarantee the experimental protocol be strictly followed. Yet, the researchers provided help when required. All participants in the experiment signed an informed consent to participate and no association was ever made between their real names and the results, in agreement with the Spanish Law for Personal Data Protection. This procedure was approved by the Ethics Committee of Universitat de Barcelona, and all methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations.

本数据集采集自西班牙巴塞罗那举办的STEM4Youth: Games xAire系列活动的实验过程，该系列活动共分为两场：首场于2018年4月23日在CCCB举办，第二场于2018年6月9日至10日在Ciutadella举办。参与者参与了公共品博弈（public goods game）实验。本次实验共设置6个独立实验工位，每位参与者对应一个工位，工位呈空间分散布局，确保参与者之间无法相互看见，同时严格禁止参与者交谈或互相传递信号。为进一步确保玩家间的潜在互动不会影响实验结果，玩家的配对完全随机。所有参与者均通过专为本次实验开发的网页界面Citizen Social Lab完成实验流程。参与者将观看一段简短的操作教程，但不会获得任何实验相关提示。实验方告知参与者需在不同情境下与不同对手进行决策。我们确保界面设计简洁易懂，以保障参与者对实验任务的正确理解，且所有参与者使用的界面完全一致。为避免实验给参与者带来困扰或身心伤害，我们将实验包装为游戏与趣味活动形式。一名研究人员会全程密切监控每场实验环节，确保严格遵循实验规程，同时在参与者需要时提供必要协助。所有参与实验的受试者均签署了知情同意书，且根据西班牙《个人数据保护法》要求，实验结果与参与者真实姓名未做任何关联。本实验流程已通过巴塞罗那大学（Universitat de Barcelona）伦理委员会审批，所有实验方法均严格遵循相关指导规范与法规要求。
