Abstract

Across different terms, introductory psychology college instructors offered incentives to students for participating in department-wide research as part of a course requirement. Students received either no incentive (n = 590) or exam “bonus points” (n = 480) on both a midterm and final exam. Students offered bonus points began work at an earlier date and completed the research requirement more frequently than students not offered bonus points. Use of the bonus-point system could benefit students, instructors, and researchers.
