Ordinary people face tasks that require effort and perseverance. Many researchers find themselves collecting data on students in a variety of contexts. Every researcher would like to be able to find large, representative, and highly motivated student samples; however, in reality, it is difficult to find such student samples. Even at the most active assessment colleges, there will be students who simply tolerate taking different assessments rather than embracing them and trying to do their best on each one. In recent years, standardized tests have been the preferred method for assessing student achievement, but student learning is not limited to performing well on a standardized test (Anderman 2003). Motivation plays an important role in a student's life, and having the desire to do well will help them not only in school but also in life. Motivation isn't the easiest thing to measure, however, and not everyone is motivated by the same things. Researchers attempt to solve this problem by conducting their experiments and using various incentives that they believe will affect the participants in their studies. Many studies have been done on what motivates people to do what they do, ranging from when money was used as an external reward (Deci, 1971) to simply praising a student for effort that he deployed and not only for completion. of the task (Hallinan, 2008). Many studies have also used surveys to measure self-reported motivation, but previous studies have shown that self-reported motivation is higher on employment tests among job applicants than among incumbents (Arvey, 1990), and among eighth graders paid for answering correctly. questions compared with stud...... middle of paper ......g of the experiment and should return part of the reward to the experimenter for each question answered incorrectly. We would use a between-subjects design where incentive framing is the manipulated or independent variable. We propose to observe that the group in which the participants in the negatively framed condition will obtain better test results than the group in the positively framed condition. Previous studies have been conducted on this topic of incentive framing and the results showed that positively worded incentives are less motivating than negatively worded ones, which was demonstrated through several experiments conducted by Goldsmith and Dhar. Just like in the first experiment I conducted, participants in Goldsmith and Dhar's experiments incorrectly predicted that a positive incentive would be more motivating than a negative incentive..
