trustdata

This data is from an experiment involving use of emojis in laboratory trust games executed on mobile devices. In this paper, I explore how emojis impact trust-generated welfare and how skin tone markers -- effectively signals -- shape one's willingness to trust. Exploiting a demographically diverse subject pool of mobile device users, I execute a laboratory experiment, exogenously restricting the type of computer-mediated chat players can use in a single endowment variant of the Berg et. al, 1998 "Investment game." This game allows for the exchange of money in a manner that creates potential surplus (a growing pie), and captures intuitive measures of trust (money sent), reciprocity (a proportion returned), and social welfare (final payoffs). Student subjects may could select from a library of emojis that allow skin tone markers and can converse throughout the entirety of the trust interaction. The emoji variables are binary coded if received by an player in the game. <br><br><br>Skin tones embedded in emojis impact sharing and resulting gains.本数据集源自一项在移动设备上开展的实验室信任博弈实验，实验中使用了表情符号（emoji）。本研究探讨了表情符号对信任衍生福利的影响，以及肤色标识——本质上为信号指标——如何塑造个体的信任意愿。 本研究招募了人口统计学特征多样化的移动设备用户作为实验被试，开展实验室实验，并外生限定了被试在伯格等人（Berg et al., 1998）「投资博弈」单一禀赋变体中可使用的计算机中介聊天类型。该博弈允许以创造潜在剩余（即「做大的蛋糕」）的方式进行金钱交换，可直观测度信任（发送的金钱数额）、互惠行为（返还的金钱比例）与社会福利（最终收益）。 实验被试可从支持肤色标识的表情符号库中选择表情，并在整个信任互动全程进行交流。若某玩家在实验中收到表情符号，则该表情符号变量将被二分类编码。 嵌入表情符号的肤色标识会影响金钱共享行为及最终收益。
