Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Festinger's experiment went against what would be predicted by the law of effect, which states that behaviors that are followed by positive outcomes are more likely to be repeated, and behaviors followed by negative outcomes are less likely to be repeated. In Festinger's study, participants who were paid only one dollar to participate in a boring task actually rated the task as more enjoyable than those who were paid $20. This goes against the law of effect, as the group that received less money had a negative outcome, but they still reported more positive feelings about the task. This demonstrated the power of cognitive dissonance in influencing attitudes and behaviors. The other answer choices are not related to Festinger's experiment.
