For the past twenty years, the psychologist Daniel Batson and his colleagues have developed a novel experimental approach which closely resembles the dictator game. Because this approach has been explored using a number of interesting modifications by the same researcher in the course of constructing a sophisticated motivational story about resource allocation, and because his findings have attracted a great deal of interest and attention, it is worth delving into them in some detail (For the studies, see Batson et al. 1997, 1999, 2002, 2003. For reviews, see Batson and Thompson 2001 and Batson 2008. For related studies and discussion, see Valdesolo and DeSteno 2007, 2008 and Watson and Sheikh 2008. For Batson’s exploration of the implications of this research for moral psychology, see Batson 2015.).
