Hi Everyone, I'm teaching high school students about behaviorism and I'd like some dramatic examples that are particular relevant to their lives. Around 2008 several school districts began interventions where students were being paid for good grades. Many news reports suggested that, at least while the payments continued, the programs were succeeding in raising grades. Other researchers were concerned about the possible side-effects to intrinsic motivation. Several years have gone by and, presumably, they are no longer being reinforced with money for grades. I'm trying to figure out how students in the experimental conditions compare to the control conditions. If the money ended before graduation, do the groups have different graduation rates? Do the groups have different rates of attending college or different grades in their first semester(s) of college? Thank you for your help!
