Answer to Question 1

A striking number of dictators give the responder a non-zero allocation in a dictator game. Some research results
report that proposers either fail to maximize their own expected utility or the proposer's utility functions include
benefits received by others. However, other research suggests that a proposer's generous behavior is motivated by
the desire to behave in a manner consistent with social norms and a willingness to take less in order to avoid
actions that could be viewed as socially inappropriate, such as greed. This could indicate that the proposer expects
some long-term benefit from their altruistic demonstration of generosity.
