Financial incentives do not pave the road to good experimentation
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (3):404-404 (2001)
| Abstract | Hertwig and Ortmann suggest paying participants contingent upon performance in order to increase the thoroughness they devote to a decision task. We argue that monetary incentives can yield a number of unintended effects including distortions of the subjective representation of the task and impaired performance. Therefore, we conclude that performance-contingent payment should not be generally employed in judgment and decision research. | |||||||||
