Suppose you had volunteered to participate in a psychology


Suppose you had volunteered to participate in a psychology experiment on campus. Upon arrival, you were seated at a table and asked to undertake a series of dull, meaningless tasks for about an hour. Afterward, the experimenter convinced you to extol the virtues of the tasks you had performed by describing them to other potential participants as highly worthwhile, interesting, and educational. You were paid either $1 or $20 to do this. Suppose you were then asked to privately rate your enjoyment of the tasks on a questionnaire. After which amount of payment do you believe your actual enjoyment rating of the tasks would be higher: After receiving $1 or $20? Report back the answers of your "subjects." Then, explain, based on cognitive dissonance theory, which amount of payment you believe would have led to reports of greater enjoyment.
