N2 - We use the strategy method to classify subjects into cooperator types in a largescale online Public Goods Game and nd that free riders spend more time on making their decisions than conditional cooperators and other cooperator types.

Our results suggest that conditional cooperation serves as a norm and that free riders need time to resolve a moral dilemma
