For many decades research has been done on social preferences. Only recently researcher started to look for the occurrence of antisocial preferences. They designed new games to test for the ‘dark side’ of human nature. We tried to find out if antisocial preferences really exist or if they are just a side effect of the design of the games. We discussed fairness, inequality and reciprocity. We also checked for the occurrence of experimenter demand effects. In the last part of our research we wanted to see if and how social- and antisocial preferences would fit together. We found the positive burning rates found in the experiments were mainly because of fairness and inequality but there was also evidence for highly antisocial behavior. We found that social- and antisocial preferences would fit together and designed a scale to do this. Antisocial preferences do exist but they only cover a small part of human behavior.
