Ultimatum Game experiments

The Ultimatum Game is a social experiment where one person (the proposer) suggests how to divide a sum of money with another person (the responder). The responder can either accept the offer, in which both get the proposed shares, or reject it, resulting in neither receiving anything. The game explores fairness and decision-making, often revealing that people tend to reject unfair offers even at a cost to themselves, indicating that perceptions of justice influence economic behavior beyond pure self-interest.
