Cultural differences can be a source of ambiguity in coordination games. As players are likely to experience more ambiguity when playing a different culture, we expect players to choose safer strategies. We run experiments with a stag hunt and bargaining coordination game. Using a between-subjects design, we vary the identity of the opponent between someone of the same culture or a different culture. We compare the responses of British and East Asian students at the University of Exeter and show the cultural identity of the opponent by physical appearance. While we find no significant differences between treatments for East Asians, the British choose the safer option in the stag hunt and demand more of the pie in the bargaining game when faced with an opponent from a different culture.

在协作游戏中，文化差异可能会导致歧义。由于玩家在玩不同文化时可能会遇到更多歧义，因此我们希望玩家选择更安全的策略。我们通过搜寻雄鹿和讨价还价协调游戏进行实验。使用对象间设计，我们可以改变相同文化或不同文化的人之间对手的身份。我们比较了埃克塞特大学英国和东亚学生的反应，并通过外表展示了对手的文化身份。尽管我们发现东亚人的待遇没有显着差异，但英国人在雄鹿狩猎中选择了更安全的选择，并且在面对来自不同文化背景的对手时在讨价还价游戏中要求更多的派。
