Teaching of Psychology, 1992•journals.sagepub.comIn three experiments, we studied the effect of incentives (0%, 1%, or 5% of grade points; 2or
10) on willingness to participate in hypothetical experiments varying in degree of
aversiveness. College students read a brief description of an experiment, rated their
willingness to participate, and wrote comments. Willingness to participate was greater with
larger incentives (in two of three experiments) and was lower for more aversive treatments
(in all experiments). We discuss the teacher's role in the research process.
