Running Speed in the Long Path of a Single Choice Maze as a Function of Frustration in the Short Path (open access)

Running Speed in the Long Path of a Single Choice Maze as a Function of Frustration in the Short Path

The purpose of the present study was to further investigate the effects of frustration on the reward value of a goal object. Under the assumption that animals will learn to take the shortest path to a goal and that the reward value of an object will increase as effort increases, the following hypothesis was proposed: If rats are frustrated in the short path of a single choice maze (experimental group) then the experimental group's running time for the long path will be less than that of a control group not frustrated in the short path.

Self-Concept and Dogmatism as Variables in the Prediction of Internal-External Reward Expectancies (open access)

Self-Concept and Dogmatism as Variables in the Prediction of Internal-External Reward Expectancies

The problem of this study was to determine the relationship between the nature of an individual's self-concept and belief system to his orientation toward internal versus external control of reinforcement. This study was designed to investigate the relationship of two variables, self-concept and open versus closed belief system, to a third variable, locus of control.
