  • Thus, according to most theories before the 1970s, offering extrinsic incentives would only promote more of the rewarded behavior.
  • Rewards can serve as a signal in two ways (described below), they argue: signals to actors and signals to observers.
  • Rewards are conditional on task engagement.
  • Rewards can be interpreted by the agent or observers as controlling.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 08:14, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Dubious consensus statement

In "Debate and meta-analyses" section the statement: "Through the debate, consensus seems to have emerged that crowding out reliably occurs if the following conditions are met:" does not seem to be supported by anything in the reference [33] (Gneezy, Uri; Meier, Stephan; Rey-Biel, Pedro (2011).) and the references for each condition do not really suggest an emerging consensus.

I think the options are either:

  • the statement be corrected to align with the existing references (e.g. "although a general consensus has not been achieved, some patterns are common in meta-analysis:")
  • add references that align better with the existing statement
  • remove the statement

I don't have confidence in my knowledge in the area to know which option is best, but I thought I should flag it because it seemed very misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamespitt (talkcontribs) 07:08, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
