In data processing and presentation, the average of the two probabilities of participants switching from the right option to the left option in the lottery task is recorded as their true belief (Ptrue). Record the bonus received by the receiver in the sender receiver task paradigm as an unknown random probability (P). In the statistical analysis of data, this experiment conducted a repeated measures ANOVA of 2 (group: moral standards group vs. control group) x 2 (behavioral decision-making: deception vs. honesty) on the proportion of deception and honesty trials that selected the "P
