Has anyone tried to test test how different kinds of prejudges affect these games?

I'm thinking about same game setting, except that players are asked to give their mugshot and real or fake mugshots of males, females, people different ethnicity, looks and ages are shown to them.

Priming effects definitely have a huge effect on initial PD play. In one experiment researchers phrased it as "the cooperation game" vs "the wall street game" and saw much lower cooperation.

In our case, however, we made the same people play for a month. I believe that learning effects strongly dominate priming over that time period.
