We examine this question in a laboratory game in which participants may earn real money.
Qualifications:
Detail-oriented and motivated individuals who are interested in social and personality psychology.

Research assistants will work approximately 6-10 hours/week on literature searches, data entry and analysis, coding videos for behaviors and personality, running experiments, and recruiting participants. There may be opportunities for presenting original work at psychology conferences.
