To do so, we concentrate on a single topic: altruism. Since the dictator game provides the most suitable design for studying altruism and generosity in the lab setting, we use a modified version to study the beliefs involved in the game. Our results are substantial: men and women are expected to behave differently and both believe that women are more generous. These two premises affect their behavior.}, organization = {We gratefully acknowledge the financial support provided by the Centro de Estudios Andaluces (SOCH2.05/43—2006).}, publisher = {Universidad de Granada.
