Abstract

Two experiments were performed on interdependent exiting using a new paradigm, choices made to exit or wait on discrete rounds. The smaller the group size, the larger the proportion of group members exiting, regardless of whether the exit space was held constant and the number of rounds was proportional to group size or the number of rounds was held constant and the exit space was proportional to group size. A larger proportion exited in the long time limit conditions rather than the short. There was no main effect due to gender, but a complex triple interaction involving gender, group size, and time limit was obtained. In general, the results were consistent with the theoretical model of Kelley et al. (1965). The relevance of this research to the areas of tacit coordination and queue models of traffic flow was discussed.
