Summary:
We conducted an experimental study on social preferences using dictator games similar to Fehr et al. (2008). Our results show that social preferences differ between participants who receive low-stakes monetary rewards for their decisions and participants who consider hypothetical stakes. The results were robust when we controlled for socio-demographic characteristics and participants’ risk attitudes. Our findings indicate that, apart from incentives, gender plays an important role for the categorization of different social preferences.
