Supplementary data to the paper: Obfuscation maximization-based decision-making: Theory, methodology and first empirical evidence

Theories of decision-making are routinely based on the notion that decision-makers choose alternatives which align with their underlying preferences – and hence that their preferences can be inferred from their choices. In some situations, however, a decision-maker may wish to hide his or her preferences from an onlooker. This dataset contains the results of an obfuscation game that was designed to explore whether decision-makers, when properly incentivized, would be able to obfuscate effectively, and which heuristics they employ to do so.

决策理论通常以决策者选择与其内在偏好相一致的备选方案这一核心假设为基础——进而认为决策者的偏好可从其决策行为中推导得出。然而在部分场景中，决策者可能希望向旁观者隐藏自身的偏好。本数据集收录了一项混淆博弈（obfuscation game）的实验结果，该实验旨在探究：当决策者获得合理激励时，是否能够有效隐藏自身偏好，以及他们会采用何种启发式策略来达成这一目标。
