Motivating Persistence and Risky Choice: Beyond Monetary Incentives
Incentives motivate us. While considerable research has focused on monetary rewards, our evidence suggests that non-monetary hedonic rewards may induce greater persistence—and better performance—in real-effort tasks. Participants facing hedonic (vs. monetary) incentives were also more likely to invest effort to earn a larger-uncertain reward over a smaller-surer one.
