Tomada de decisão no sharing game: um estudo exploratório sobre o efeito de variáveis contextuais

The Sharing Game, an economic game, studies the motivations involved in resources allocation. The participant faces several trials in which he must choose between two options, both with an amount of resources for him and for other passive participant. On these two options, the difference between the participants’ resources is always the same, but in one of them – optimal option – the distributor receives more and the receiver even more, and in another – non optimal option – the distributor receives less and the other even less. From their choice, participants may be classifi ed as optimizers, egalitarians or competitives. The objective of this study was to provide different contexts for the Sharing Game
