  1. A ✓ indicates the inclusion of variables. Dependent variable: trust-gain of Punisher; Consensus: Trustor’s guess of injunctive norm-consensus over Punisher’s punishing; Norm: if one should punish for not sharing; Empirical expectations: the guessed proportion of Punishers who punish; Fixed effects: fixed-effects for the experimental conditions; Controls: age, gender, race, education, income, and region. 95% confidence intervals are in parentheses.
