越来越多的实验研究将重点放在实验室和现场之间的差异上。许多实验室和现场实验的一个重要区别是如何获得捐赠。通过进行独裁者博弈实验，我们考察了意外之财和获得的捐赠对实验室和野外行为的影响。我们发现，如果捐赠是一笔意外之财，受试者在两种情况下都会捐赠更多。然而，尽管实验设计的目的是为了控制除环境之外的所有影响，但在意外之财和获得的捐赠方面，实验室和现场的行为都有显著的差异。这表明在解释实验室和现场实验结果时以及在进行复制研究时，讨论上下文的重要性。
A growing number of experimental studies focus on the differences between the lab and the field. One important difference between many lab and field experiments is how the endowment is obtained. By conducting a dictator game experiment, we investigate the influences of windfall and earned endowment on behavior in the laboratory and in the field. We find subjects donate more in both environments if the endowment is a windfall gain. However, although the experimental design was intended to control for all effects other than environment, there are significant differences in behavior between the lab and the field for both windfall and earned endowment. This points to the importance of discussing the context when interpreting both laboratory and field experiment results as well as when conducting replication studies.
