【背景】
Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behaviour.,One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.
兩項最新調查發現,懲罰并不是影響行為的最佳方法。
其中一項調查表明,如果在基于獎勵的體系中工作,成年人會更加配合。這項研究由美國哈佛大學和瑞典斯德哥爾摩經濟學院的研究人員進行。

And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The group with the most punishment earned twenty-five percent less than the group with the least punishment. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.
