To test if there is an effect in the way people play these games when
they think that they are playing with someone from another culture,
a random sample of the group was primed with an “Intercultural
Coordination” questionnaire, which rephrased the original question
as follows:


“Please write your answers to the following games. You will be
playing with an unknown partner from another culture (randomly
assigned by the computer). Both you and your intercultural partner
will have to coordinate your answers to win the games – but you
cannot communicate with each other!”



Here are the results:
                                                   http://deliberationlab.blogspot.com/
53% of the group played simple coordination games,
while 47% played “intercultural coordination” games.
