Instructions
The Trust Game
Read carefully — these rules apply to all four rounds.
Two players are matched each round: an Investor and a Responder.
Investor: You start with 10 points. Choose how much to send (0–10 pts). Whatever you send is tripled before the Responder receives it.
Responder: You receive the tripled amount. You choose how much to return to the Investor (0 up to the full amount you received).

You will play all four combinations in a random order: Investor or Responder, partnered with a Human or an AI. Treat each round as a fresh, independent interaction.
