Abstract: In this project, we investigate how a listener鈥檚 awareness of a speaker鈥檚 message set affects their interpretation of the speaker鈥檚 chosen message. Participants play a prisoner鈥檚 dilemma with one-sided pre-play communication from a sender to a receiver. We assess how the receiver鈥檚 awareness of the sender鈥檚 set of possible alternative statements (including strong, weak, and empty statements) influences the receiver鈥檚 beliefs about the sender鈥檚 likelihood to cooperate and the receiver鈥檚 own likelihood to cooperate.
