Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A direct incentive is given to someone as a reward or punishment directly related to their behavior or actions. In this case, the fee refund is directly related to the behavior of recycling the bag, making it a direct incentive. Indirect incentives, on the other hand, are not directly related to behavior, like a tax credit for renewable energy use. Neutral incentives have no effect on behavior, complementary incentives are additional rewards for an already incentivized behavior, and unintended incentives are not intentionally created.
