【背景】
Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behaviour.,One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.
两项最新调查发现,惩罚并不是影响行为的最佳方法。
其中一项调查表明,如果在基于奖励的体系中工作,成年人会更加配合。这项研究由美国哈佛大学和瑞典斯德哥尔摩经济学院的研究人员进行。
