![]() Results indicated that top-scorer men and women behave similarly bottom-scorer men “resist” their low merit status (behaving the most “rationally” of all player groups) bottom-scorer women “accept” their low merit status (behaving the most “irrationally” of all player groups). Game-theoretic understandings of sex-of-player were compared to the expectations states theory concept of “sex status” that is, men expect and are expected to perform more competently than women. Players earned the institutional locations based on a test, so that top and bottom scorers respectively “merited” the 3- and 2-alternatives locations. An asymmetric game was designed such that players in the “male” and “female” institutional locations had 3 and 2 alternatives, respectively. This paper reports the results of experiments designed to focus on sex/gender and to expand the level of analysis to include the institutional level. ![]() In experimental game-theoretic research, to the extent that sex has been considered at all, the approach has been to focus on the individual level of analysis. ![]()
