Abstract: To investigate the influence of performance differences on donating
	behavior in a solidarity game we introduce a real effort task. In each
	three-person-group subjects are ranked according to their task
	performance. Since each potential winner is informed about his own rank
	and the potential losers? ranks, they are able to regard performance
	differences between various potential losers and between themselves and
	a potential loser. We run another treatment without a real effort task
	to check for the influence of performance. We find different kinds of
	donating behaviour which seem to be fundamental characteristics.
