This study tests some of its design features to determine whether\r\nelicited beliefs and related behaviours vary depending on i) the time of elicitation (before vs after the\r\ndecision), ii) incentivizing vs not incentivizing a question about normative expectations, and iii)\r\nquestioning subjects on their beliefs about the action of interest alone or combined with an alternative\r\naction. An online experiment is conducted via Prolific comprising a dictator game and the elicitation of\r\nfairness beliefs. A pretest reveals that applying role uncertainty does not alter beliefs and behaviours\r\ncompared to a baseline treatment without it. Subsequently, three treatments are implemented. Contrary\r\nto previous studies, results indicate that varying the time of elicitation does not significantly alter the\r\nmoney-share decision. However, incentivizing the question about normative expectations significantly\r\nincreases the fit with the actual majority norm. Finally, asking about a fair share and an unfair share\r\ninstead of only about fair sharing does not alter personal normative beliefs or normative expectations,\r\nbut it increases the empirical expectations that other dictators have provided a fair share.","lang":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2025-04-11T13:57:11Z","user_id":"34502","year":"2025","date_updated":"2025-04-11T14:00:08Z","_id":"59518","oa":"1","type":"working_paper","has_accepted_license":"1","title":"Variations in the Two-Step Norm Elicitation Procedure","file":[{"file_name":"ssrn-5201614.pdf","creator":"splass","relation":"main_file","file_id":"59519","date_updated":"2025-04-11T13:57:11Z","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2025-04-11T13:57:11Z","file_size":617905}]}
