The players took turns, and when a played made a mistake, the opponent was allowed to deliver a shock as punishment. Players chose the intensity of the shock their opponents would receive for each mistake (on a scale of 1 to 10), and they could hold the shock delivery button down for different lengths of time. The researchers measured the intensity and duration of the shocks each participant delivered.
