Participants were told that they would receive either 5 cents, 25 cents, or 50 cents for each word puzzle that they correctly solved. A statistical test showed that there was a significant effect of incentive on performance at the .01 level. The greater the incentive, the more puzzles were solved.

Participants in one group read a resume of a job applicant with a popular name; participants in the other group read the same resume but the applicant had an unpopular name. There were five participants in each group. The results showed that the difference in evaluation of the applicants was not significant (p < .22).
