Abstract
Employing a two-by-two factorial design that manipulates whether dictator groups are single or mixed-sex and whether procedures are single or double-blind, we examine gender effects in a standard dictator game. No gender effect was found in any of the experimental treatments. Moreover, neither single - versus mixed - sex groups nor level of anonymity had any impact on either male or female behavior.
Keywords: dictator game, gender, anonymity
