Abstract
In the Morality Game, participants predict other peoples’ choices after watching their past choices in game theoretic dilemmas with systematically varied payoff structures, featuring helpful, selfish, win-win, and malicious options. We find that observers represent other peoples’ moral character on three fundamental dimensions: self-value, other-value, and concern for interpersonal disparities.
