The results, however, fail to support the hypothesis and we find that the therapeutic community members are in fact more fair, altruistic, and trustworthy. We use the dictator game, ultimatum game, and trust game in order to elicit their prosocial preferences. Tobit regressions are performed to test for the differences between the proposers in the three games. According to the Tobit regressions, treatment subjects are willing to share more with strangers. Given the nature of the data of the responders, multinomial logit regressions are utilized to study the patterns exhibited by the subjects. According to the logit regressions, members in the self-selected treatment group tend to be more hyper-fair and confused. 2011-10-21 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1316551143 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1316551143 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
