Ultra-Difficult Open-Ended LSAT Question (with one correct answer):

A behavioral economics experiment showed that when participants were offered a reward for solving a complex puzzle, they were less likely to persist after initial failure than participants who were given no reward. The researchers hypothesized that introducing a reward led participants to interpret failure as evidence that the task was not worth the effort, whereas unrewarded participants were more likely to view failure as a natural part of the process.

However, a follow-up study revealed that participants who were told the reward would increase based on how long they persisted showed significantly more persistence than those offered a fixed reward, even though both groups failed equally often early in the task.

Question:
Given this information, what is the most plausible explanation that reconciles the findings of both studies? Your answer should clearly explain the psychological mechanism or assumption that must be true to make both outcomes consistent.


Correct Answer:

The effect of rewards on persistence depends on how participants interpret the meaning of the reward: a fixed reward signals that success must be quick and easy to be worthwhile, while an increasing reward signals that sustained effort is valued and expected, thereby encouraging persistence.
