## Data files

The data comes in two different .csv files

- ...choice_data.csv 
    contains subject, session and treatment identifiers, the final choices in each phase, the playout phase, and a consistency indicator. 
    It has *one line per subject*. 
    
- ...exploration_data.csv
    contains an identifier and, for each phase, each exploration action taken by each subject, and its category. 
    It has *one line per click* ever made during the experiment.
    

## Variables

# ...choice_data.csv

session                             the experimental session
treatment                           one of four treatments
default                             binary: what was the default rule set at the beginnign of the exploration for each phase
dictator                            binary: was the dictator internal or external
id                                  numeric unique identifier for each subject (session + society + memeber)
member                              id within a society, 1-5
society                             society id within a session, 1-5
choice_phase1                       choice submitted for phase 1. 1 = "euqality of dividend", 2 = "equality of payment".
choice_phase2                       choice submitted for phase 2. 1 = "euqality of dividend", 2 = "equality of payment".
choice_phase3                       choice submitted for phase 3. 1 = "euqality of dividend", 2 = "equality of payment".
choice_phases_1_and_2               combined choices of phases 1 and 2
readable_choice_phases_1_and_2      the choice for the combined phases 1 and 2, in human-readable format
readable_choice_phase3              the choice for phase 3, in human-readable format
droppable                           the rule that could be dropped. The number indicates the position in the choice_phase3 variable. So "2" is the second element of the 4-element chain. 
consistency                         number of elements (out of 4) over which the subject was consistent in choice_phase3 and choice_phases_1_and_2
dictator_id                         playout variable: who was chosen to be the dictator?
payoff                              playout variable: final payoff
luck                                playout variable: did the subject had good luck?
stay                                playout variable: did the subject stay for part 2?
forcedluck                          playout variable: was a scenario drawn for payment for which subjects had a forced luck (bad or good)?
forcedstay                          playout variable: was a scenario drawn for payment for which subjects had a forced effort (stay or leave)?



# ..exploration_data.csv

id                                  numeric unique identifier for each subject (session + society + memeber). Same as id in ...choice_data.csv
phase                               phase of the experiment
action                              type of action perfomred by the subject, as reported by the software.
action_type                         human_readable category of the action made
