Do past good deeds to third party make people more tolerant to unfair behaviors?
Résumé
How do people react to a mix of good deeds for others and bad deeds against them? Do they punish the bad deeds regardless of previous good deeds towards other people or are they more tolerant to bad deeds because of the good deeds done previously? A classroom experiment shows that previous good deeds make responders substantially more tolerant to unfair proposals which are usually refused.
