  1. A ✓ indicates the inclusion of variables. Dependent variable: trust-gain of the Helper; Consensus: Trustor’s guess of injunctive norm-consensus over the Helper’s sharing; Norm: if one should share; Empirical expectations: the guessed proportion of Helpers who share; Fixed effects: fixed-effects for the experimental conditions; Controls: age, gender, race, education, income, and region. 95% confidence intervals are in parentheses.
