Abstract
Our research is a variant of the third party punishment game. In particular, we want to test whether players have heterogeneous preferences; the levels of the sanction and of the transfer are proportional to the unfairness of the Dictator; the change of the role influences the Observer's reaction to unfair behavior; players' decision to punish the Dictator and/or to help the Receiver depends on how costly their intervention is.
