Incentive Conditions and Social Desirability as Determinants of Behavioral Variance on a Temptation Task.
Nelsen, Edward A.; And Others
Child Development, v51 n4 p1260-67 Dec 1980
Seventh-grade children participated under two successive incentive conditions (self-prize and other prize) in a study of transgression behavior in a temptation task in which children were alternately offered a self-gratifying and an altruisitic incentive for successful performance. Most subjects behaved consistently across the incentive conditions. (Author/RH)
