If given money, the partners could choose to split it with the participants or keep it. Prior to the study, participants read descriptions of their partners that described them as either trustworthy or untrustworthy. Delgado and colleagues found that participants based
their decision to give money to their partners largely on:
A) the direction of the discrepancy between the descriptions and how the partners actually behaved.
B) what the partners actually did in the game.
C) the written descriptions.
D) the consistency with which the partners acted according to the written descriptions.
