摘要

随着时间的推移，群体成员对彼此行为的看法如何影响合作行为仍不确定。本研究通过1个试点实验和3个实验，探讨了在二人公共物品博弈中，表扬（表扬内容和表扬代理）对合作的影响。结果表明，以过程为中心的表扬和以人为中心的表扬都能促进合作行为。值得注意的是，与以人为中心的表扬相比，参与者在以过程为中心的表扬下表现出更高的合作水平。此外，表达表扬的行为比仅仅接受表扬或根本没有表扬会导致更多的合作行为。总的来说，这些发现强调了以过程为中心的表扬在促进合作方面的功效，表达表扬比接受表扬更有效。这些见解建议在组织和教育环境中进行实际应用，在这些环境中，实施强调以过程为中心的表扬和鼓励积极表达赞赏的策略可以显著提高合作动力和团队绩效。

Praise and cooperation: Investigating the effects of praise content and agency

How group members’ perceptions of each other’s actions influence cooperative behaviour over time remains uncertain. This study explored the effects of praise (praise content and agency) on cooperation in a two-player public goods game through one pilot experiment and three experiments. The results indicated that both process-focused and person-focused praise enhanced cooperative behaviours. Notably, participants exhibited higher levels of cooperation under process-focused praise compared to person-focused praise. Additionally, the act of expressing praise led to more cooperative behaviour than merely receiving praise or no praise at all. Overall, these findings underscore the efficacy of process-focused praise in promoting cooperation, with the expression of praise proving more effective than its reception. These insights suggest practical applications in organizational and educational settings, where implementing strategies that emphasize process-focused praise and encourage the active expression of appreciation could significantly enhance cooperative dynamics and team performance.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics (formerly the Journal of Socio-Economics) welcomes submissions that deal with various economic topics but also involve issues that are related to other social sciences, especially psychology, or use experimental methods of inquiry. Thus, contributions in behavioral economics, experimental economics, economic psychology, and judgment and decision making are especially welcome. The journal is open to different research methodologies, as long as they are relevant to the topic and employed rigorously. Possible methodologies include, for example, experiments, surveys, empirical work, theoretical models, meta-analyses, case studies, and simulation-based analyses. Literature reviews that integrate findings from many studies are also welcome, but they should synthesize the literature in a useful manner and provide substantial contribution beyond what the reader could get by simply reading the abstracts of the cited papers. In empirical work, it is important that the results are not only statistically significant but also economically significant. A high contribution-to-length ratio is expected from published articles and therefore papers should not be unnecessarily long, and short articles are welcome. Articles should be written in a manner that is intelligible to our generalist readership. Book reviews are generally solicited but occasionally unsolicited reviews will also be published.
