Popis: This research was designed to assess the independent effects of two elements of self-reinforcing events, self-imposition of achievement standards and self-administration of rewards ( ns = 16/group). Achievement standards, in the absence of rewards, and self-administration of rewards increased performance. Subjects who selected achievement standards did not differ significantly from subjects who had such standards imposed by an experimenter. No significant interaction was found between achievement standards and rewards.
