This is super interesting. You'd wonder if it were a "meritocratic thing," eg who does better at some task, if the effect would be even worse

Part of the effect might be participants not realizing that they can opt out, which highlights the importance of telling participants they can opt out of the study at any time. This reminds me of recent research that "it takes time for people to realize it is possible for them to do bad things." (Phillips et al 2017) This study almost shows the opposite but it seems like a similar kind of thinking to me. Maybe it takes people time to realize they can violate norms/expectations.
