We consider the notions of static and dynamic reasonableness of requests by an authority in a trust game experiment. The authority, modeled as the experimenter, systematically varies the experimental norm of what is expected from trustees to return to trustors, both in terms of the level of each request and in terms of the sequence of the requests. Static reasonableness matters in a self-biased way, in the sense that low requests justify returning less, but high requests tend to be ignored. Dynamic reasonableness also matters, in the sense that, if requests keep increasing, trustees return less compared to the same requests presented in random or decreasing order. Requests never systematically increase trustworthiness but may decrease it.

回应当局的（不合理）要求

我们在信任博弈实验中考虑了授权机构的静态和动态合理性要求。以实验者为模型的权威根据每个请求的级别和请求的顺序，系统地改变从受托人返回给受托人的期望的实验规范。静态合理性以一种自我偏见的方式起作用，从某种意义上说，低要求可以证明返回的值较少，但高要求则往往被忽略。从某种意义上说，动态的合理性也很重要，因为如果请求继续增加，则与以随机或递减顺序提出的相同请求相比，受托人返回的收益会更少。请求永远不会系统地增加可信度，但可能会降低可信度。
