我们提供了独裁者游戏中社会地位影响的证据。从地位群体的平均捐赠来看，（a）独裁者的地位越高，她捐赠的越多；（b）接受者地位越高，她收到的捐赠越少。这两种倾向都是由利他主义提出的。在较低的聚合水平上，我们发现在考虑的所有理论概念（即利他主义、温暖的给予、群体内偏见、高贵义务）中，利他主义的正确预测比例最高。令人惊讶的是，在个人层面上很少有纯粹的利他主义者。这指出了社会科学研究中众所周知的聚合问题，以及对群体内偏见的实验研究等挑战。
We provide evidence on the effects of social status in the dictator game. With regard to average donations from and to status groups, it turns out that (a) the higher the status of the dictator, the more she donates, and (b) the higher the status of the recipient, the less she receives in donations. Both tendencies are proposed by altruism. On a lower level of aggregation, we find that altruism has the highest proportion of correct predictions among all theoretical concepts under consideration (i.e. altruism, warm-glow giving, in-group bias, noblesse oblige). Surprisingly, there are rarely pure altruists on the individual level. This points at well-known problems of aggregation in social science research and challenges, among others, experimental studies on the in-group bias.
