Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of positive and negative reinforcement on the rule following behaviors. Fifty participants were randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups: positive and negative reinforcement groups. Participants had to perform a simulated welding task and follow 7 safety rules while working on the task. Participants in the positive reinforcement group earned a base pay of 5,000 won at the beginning of the experiment and could earn additional 50 won for completing each task if they followed all safety rules. Participants in the negative reinforcement group earned 10,000 won at the beginning of the experiment and could lose 50 won for completing each task if they did not follow any of the safety rules. The results showed that the rule following behavior in the negative reinforcement group was significantly higher than that in the positive reinforcement group. More replication studies are needed and possible differences in emotional and physiological responses between the two types of reinforcement also should be examined.
