独裁者博弈实验中利他行为是否存在性别差异近年来引起了广泛关注。早期的研究发现女性比男性更无私。然而，这一结论受到了最近一些报道的挑战，这些报道认为利他行为的性别差异可能是学生样本的一个特点，可能不会扩展到其他群体。在这里，我们以生活在美国的 Amazon Mechanical Turk 众工为样本，研究了利他行为以及对利他行为的期望方面的性别差异。在研究 1 中，我们报告了对 3, 500 多个观察结果的大型分析，结果表明女性比男性明显更无私。在研究 2 中，我们表明女性和男性都期望女性比男性更加利他。 (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Whether or not there are gender differences in altruistic behaviour in Dictator Game experiments has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Earlier studies found women to be more altruistic than men. However, this conclusion has been challenged by more recent accounts, which have argued that gender differences in altruistic behaviour may be a peculiarity of student samples and may not extend to other groups. Here we study gender differences in altruistic behaviour and, additionally, in expectations of altruistic behaviour, in a sample of Amazon Mechanical Turk crowdworkers living in the US. In Study 1, we report a mega-analysis of more than 3, 500 observations and we show that women are significantly more altruistic than men. In Study 2, we show that both women and men expect women to be more altruistic than men. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
