The first article describing this project presented the three games that the participants played: the Ultimatum Game, the Trust Game and the Public Goods Game. This article describes the study group on the basis of a questionnaire regarding where they study and come from, their social contacts, interest in current issues, views on inequality and outlook on life. A description of the migratory decisions of students is given. In particular, two exploratory methods are used to investigate the data’s structure: Bayesian networks and principal component analysis. Bayesian networks are used to illustrate the associations between categorical variables. Principal component analysis is designed to describe latent variables which reflect the associations between numerical variables. We present the results of this analysis and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these two methods.

Although studies using experimental game theory have been carried out in various countries, no such major study has occurred in Poland. The study described here aims to investigate generalised trust and reciprocation among Polish students. In the literature, these traits are seen to be positively correlated with economic growth. Poland is regarded as the most successful post-soviet bloc country in transforming to a market economy but the level of generalised trust compared to other postcommunist countries is reported to be low. This study aims to see to what degree this reported level of generalised trust is visible amongst young Poles via experimental game theory, along with a questionnaire. The three games to be played have been described. Bayesian equilibria illustrating behaviour observed in previous studies have been derived for two of these games and the experimental procedure has been described.

Zaufanie uogólnione i normy odwzajemnienia są komponentami kapitału społecznego, które według wielu ekonomistów są powiązane ze wzrostem gospodarczym. Artykuł przedstawia wyniki zakrojonych na dużą skalę badań przeprowadzonych wśród polskich studentów, bazujących na grze „zaufanie”, w której inicjator i respondent mogą osiągnąć wzajemne korzyści, o ile inicjator zaufa respondentowi, a ten następnie to odwzajemni. Bazując na wynikach tych badań, autorzy analizują normy pozytywnego odwzajemnienia wśród zbiorowości polskich studentów. Analizy wskazują, że duży odsetek studentów zdaje się używać jednej z czterech prostych norm odwzajemnienia. W ujęciu statystycznym, poziom odwzajemnienia jest raczej dobrze odzwierciedlony w oczekiwaniach inicjatorów.

Norms of reciprocity and the level of generalised trust are components of the social capital of a society, which is argued to be associated with economic growth. This article presents results from a large scale study of Polish students based on the Trust Game, in which an initiator and respondent can obtain mutual benefits when the initiator exhibits trust in the respondent, who then expresses positive reciprocity. Based on these results, we investigate norms of positive reciprocation within the Polish student community. Analysis indicates that a large proportion of students seem to use one of four simple norms of reciprocation. In statistical terms, the level of reciprocation is rather well reflected in the expectations of the initiators.
