  1. Notes. The winning model is indicated by bold font. 1 = baseline model, i.e., no modulation by experimental variables, 2 = v is modulated by preference variable (post-hoc-defined variable where the choices of 1 and 4 were classified as strong preference, and 2 and 3 were classified as weaker preference), 3 = v is modulated by €self, 4 = v is modulated by €other, 5 = v is modulated by €self, and additionally varies by €other, 6 = v is modulated by an interaction of €self x €other, 7 = a varies by choice option, 8 = z varies by choice option, 9 = a and z vary by choice option, 10 = v is modulated by an interaction of €self x €other, and a varies by choice option, 11 = v is modulated by an interaction of €self x €other, and z varies by choice option, 12 = v is modulated by an interaction of €self x €other, and a and z vary by choice option.
