项目摘要

The goal of this project was running experiments using subjects of several cultures in the same session. We first needed a computerized experimental laboratory capable of -developing and managing multilingual experiments over the global Internet. Assembling the system took most of the first year. We-first used an ordinary web server and a CGI program scripted in Pen. Dynamic web pages provided subjects with information about the decisions they needed to make, and included forms to return the decision to the server, Successful for very simple games, such as the Prisoner's Dilemma or the Ultimatum Game, it is too clumsy for continuous time experiments such as auctions. For multistage games such as Rosenthal's ''Centipede Game'' it significantly slows the experiment. Recoding in C or C++ showed no significant speed benefit. Future efforts will use Java as a cross-platform progamming environment which facilitates real-time updates (eg, in market experiments) using the ubiquitous web browse … More r as the subject workstation, and on a dedicated ''networked experiment protocol'' for more advanced environments.Some simple experiments quickly showed that the Microsoft Windows environment is insufficient. First, although the Microsoft ''Visual'' series of compilers Are easy to use to develop user interfaces, ' it is a very restrictive environment for developing network applications. Second, multilingual development is difficult in the Windows environment ; using more than English plus another language simultaneously requires rebooting the computer. For this reason we are developing our next version using Linux, an open source operating system. Linux provides the following features : excellent networking, including emulations of the primary Microsoft network protocols ; multilingual editors such as XEmacs and yudit, and other internationalization support ; the GNU gettext library, which makes possible parallel development of a given experimental' protocol in several languages ; and revision control and achiving systems such as CVS.

这个项目的目标是在同一个会议上使用几种文化的主题进行实验。我们首先需要一个能够通过全球互联网开发和管理多语言实验的计算机化实验实验室。组装这个系统花了第一年的大部分时间。我们首先使用一个普通的Web服务器和一个用Pen编写的CGI程序。动态网页为受试者提供了他们需要做出的决定的信息，并包括将决定返回给服务器的表单，对于非常简单的游戏，如囚徒困境或最后通牒游戏，它是成功的，对于连续时间实验，如拍卖，它太笨拙了。对于多阶段游戏，如罗森塔尔的“蜈蚣游戏”，它显着减缓了实验。在C或C++中运行没有显示出显著的速度优势。未来的努力将使用Java作为跨平台编程环境，它使用无处不在的Web浏览器促进实时更新（例如，在市场实验中 ...更多信息 r作为主题工作站，并在专用的“网络实验协议”上进行更高级的环境。一些简单的实验很快表明，Microsoft Windows环境是不够的。首先，尽管微软的“Visual”系列编译器很容易用来开发用户界面，但它对于开发网络应用程序来说是一个非常受限制的环境。其次，在Windows环境下进行多语言开发是困难的;同时使用英语和另一种语言需要重新启动计算机。出于这个原因，我们正在开发我们的下一个版本使用Linux，一个开源的操作系统。Linux提供了以下特性：优秀的网络，包括主要的Microsoft网络协议的仿真;多语言编辑器，如XEmacs和yudit，以及其他国际化支持; GNU gettext库，它使得用几种语言并行开发给定的实验性协议成为可能;以及版本控制和实现系统，如CVS。少
