Student Perception of Coercion and Value from Participation in Psychological Research.

Leak, Gary K.

Teaching of Psychology, v8 n3 p144-49 Oct 1981

Results showed that, while students were aware of low-level coercion, they found the experience worthwhile and did not object to receiving extra credit as a reward. (AM)
