Would you spend 15 min as a space-smuggler for my bachelor's thesis? (Gamified iterated trust game)
Hi r/BehavioralEconomics,
I'm running a study for my bachelor's thesis on cooperative behaviour in an iterated trust game.
The protocol: Pre-survey (~2 min): demographics, prior gaming/AI experience, ATAI (Sindermann et al., 2021), WVS generalised trust item, attention check
10-round iterated trust task with a partner, gamified in a space-smuggler setting (~6–8 min)
Post-survey (~2 min): manipulation check, outcome Likerts, attention check, optional open text
Full debriefing at the end disclosing the design
Total: ~12–18 min. Adults 18+. Available in English, German, and Romanian.
Privacy: Fully anonymous (no name, email, or IP collected). GDPR-compliant, EU-hosted (Supabase). Data can be withdrawn at any point during the session.

Happy to discuss methodology and design choices in comments after you've participated, keeping things neutral here to avoid priming. Thanks!
