Primary Outcomes (Explanation)

Before
Dictator game decisions are the answer to the following question:
"In this exercise, we matched you with a participant from another survey. You will not know who you are paired with; only the researchers will know this. However, we will provide you with some additional background information about the other participant.
The participant you are matched with is a 24-year-old male from Switzerland.
You and the other participant will split a total bonus of $3. You alone will make the decision of how much of the $3 you will receive and how much of the $3 the other participant will receive. Whatever decision you make will be implemented. You can choose to divide the $3 however you like. Whatever you do not give to the other person you get to keep. The amount you keep will be credited to your MTurk account in the form of a bonus payment.For example, if you decide to give $1.70, then you will receive a bonus payment of $1.30.
How much would you like to give to the other person?"
We will examine two outcomes:
a) the amount donated;
b) whether the participant donated a positive amount.

We will examine two outcomes:
a) the average and median amount donated;
b) whether the participant donated a positive amount.
In a second phase of the experiment we slightly modified the text of our survey to the following:
"In this exercise, we matched you with a participant from another anonymous survey. You will not know who you are paired with. However, we will provide you with some additional background information about the other participant."
The purpose is to make clear that the person who expresses the anti-minaret sentiment did so in private, and not because of public pressure.
