  text: In general gender differences have frequently been studied in experimental
    economics, but the findings remain inconclusive. In this study, we focus on gender
    differences in expectations and gender specific stereotypic mindsets in a dictator
    game, building on Blanckenburg, Tebbe, & Iseke (2023). We add to prior work by
    differentiating between stereotypical behavior and stereotypical expectations.
    Accordingly, we extended the classic dictator game by three steps in order to
    study whether recipients develop stereotypical beliefs regarding the dictator’s
    gender based on the amount of money the dictator has allocated to them. First,
    we asked recipients to estimate the amount. We then revealed the amount the dictator
    actually allocated to the recipient and finally, we asked the recipient to assess
    the dictator’s gender. In contrast to and building on previous results which show
    no gender differences regarding the amount the dictators allocate, we find evidence
    for stereotypical expectations of the recipients based on the amount the dictator
    allocates to them.
