The Impact Of Rewards And Punishment On Risk Decision-making For High School Students

Risk decision-making in people's daily life is everywhere,small to individual decisionmaking choices,large to national policy-making,and our lives are closely related.High school students are in a typical period of increased distress,during which they have more risk-taking behavior than adults.In addition to emotions,risk appetite,framework,etc.,rewards and penalties have an important impact on decision makers' risk decision-making behavior.In recent years,research on reward or punishment for risk decision-making has focused mostly on college students,drug addicts,and the elderly,with little or no attention to high school students.High school students are in adolescence,is a special group,impulse,rebellious is the typical characteristics of this period,so studying its risk decision-making behavior in the face of rewards and punishments can explore the impact of reward and punishment on high school students risk decision-making mechanism,better clarify the risk decision-making characteristics of high school students,pay attention to the training of high school students risk decision-making ability.In order to explore the influence of reward and punishment on the risk decision-making behavior of high school students,this study selected 80 high school students from Nanning District High School for empirical research,and used self-made simulation balloon tasks and self-edited math problems to give students cash rewards or penalties for deducting cash Stimulation,using the single-factor experimental design between the subjects,recorded different group types(reward group,penalty group,control group)of the number of balloons blown out,the amount obtained,Bart value,the number of blow balloon keys and the average reaction of blowing a balloon.The results showed that:(1)compared with the punishment group and the control group,there were significant differences in the number of balloons blown out in the reward group,and there were significant differences in the number of balloons blown by high school students in different liberal arts and sciences.Among them,the number of blow-out balloons in the control group and the punishment group was significantly lower than in the reward group,and there was no significant difference between the control group and the punishment group;(2)Compared with the penalty group and the control group,there were significant differences in the number of keystrokes in the reward group,and there were significant differences in the number of keystrokes among high school students in different liberal arts and sciences.Among them,the number of keystrokes in the reward group was significantly higher than that in the penalty group and the control group,and there was no significant difference between the number of keystrokes in the penalty group and the control group.(3)Compared with the penalty group and the control group,there was a significant difference in the average number of inflatables(Bart value)of the adjusted balloon.Among them,the Bart value of the reward group was significantly higher than that of the control group and the penalty group,while the Bart value of the control group and the penalty group was not significantly different.(4)Compared with the penalty group and the reward group,there were significant differences in the average response of the control group.Among them,the average response time spent by the control group was significantly higher than that of the reward group and the penalty group,and there was no significant difference in the average response of each balloon between the reward group and the penalty group.(5)In terms of the amount obtained,there was no significant difference between the three types of reward and punishment in the reward group,the penalty group and the control group.The study concluded that high school students tend to seek risk when they are rewarded in their daily learning lives,and that science students are more prone to risky behavior than liberal arts students.
