Understanding the diversity of human behavior is a challenging problem and has drawn a wide attention from various fields. The recently discovered Zero-determinant (ZD) strategies provide a new framework to investigate human behavior pattern in a more controllable way through game experiment. We apply two types of ZD strategies in game experiment: the extortion strategy ensures the surplus of a player (the extortioner) always exceed his opponent’s by a fixed percentage, while the generosity strategy guarantee a player’s payoff to be never beyond his opponent. We recruited ~100 volunteers to play a repeated Prisoner’s Dilemma game and collected game behavior data, finding that under several simple mechanisms, some inherent patterns of decision-making behavior emerge in game experiments.
