Debriefing

Thank you for participating in our study!

In this study, we wanted to investigate how people communicate across different contexts, in which they have to find out if it is more beneficial to work together or compete with each other and which strategic choices humans make in these scenarios.

The one-on-one conversation with the other player was framed around a scenario in which you had to either infer the other player's gender or be questioned about your gender by the other player.

Our hypothesis is that Detectives in general will be able to infer the Target's gender better than guessing randomly, but that they perform better if the target is honest and gives veridical feedback.

This research has important implications for understanding trust and deception in the context of collaboration and will inform future studies in the space of human-AI interactions.

While in the interest of balancing the experimental design we needed to artificially constrain the gender variable to be binary, we by no means want to imply that gender is binary in real-world settings.

We thank you again for taking part in this study.
