Two experimental conditions (giving a rationale vs no-rationale for “unfair” rewards) were compared under an implicit reward paradigm in which “target” subjects received rewards directly and contingently for improvements on a simple motor skills task while “peer” subjects who were also performing the same task received no rewards. Data showed that there were significant reinforcement effects on the behavior of both target and peer subjects during the implicit reward situation when no rationale was given for the “unfair” application of rewards. However, when a rationale was given for the non-reward of the peer subjects, neither target nor peer subjects showed significant increases in responses from baseline. Implications for group reinforcement practices are discussed. Deux conditions experimentales (donner ou ne pas donner de raisons pour des recompenses “injustes”) ont ete comparees a l'aide d'un paradigme de reompense implicite dans lequel les sujets “cibles” recevaient directement des recompenses contingentes a des ameliorations lors d'une tache d'habilete motrice simple, tandis que les sujets “pairs” qui accomplissaient egalement la meke tache ne recevaient aucune reompense. Les reSultats demontrent qu'il existe des effets significatifs de renforcement sur le comportement des sujets cibles et pairs durant la situation de recompense implicite lorsqu'aucune raison n'est donnee pour la remise “injuste” de recompenses. Toutefois, lorsqu'une raison est fournie pour Ie fait de ne pas recompenser les sujets pairs, ni les sujets cibles ou pairs denotent des accroissements significatifs dans leur tau de reponse par rapport au niveau de base. Les implications de ces resultats pour les pratiques de renforcement de groupe sont discutees. |
