Chapter 9 322 Appendix D. Full transcript of instructions D1. Participant recruitment message ‘Dear #fname#, We would like to invite you to participate at in an Online Econlab experiment on the effect of financial incentives. In particular, we are interested in how different incentives might influence your persistence on a tedious task. At this stage, we are searching for 80 respondents to pilot this experiment with, so our recruitment is organized in a first-come first-served basis. After 80 people have taken part, the survey is closed automatically, and you will no longer be able to take part. Before reading on, please note that we are only recruiting respondents with a Dutch bank account. Payment will be facilitated through you sending us payment requests (e.g. via Tikkie or your own bank’s alternative), which are only available through Dutch bank accounts. Note that this is mandatory, you will not be paid through any other route. The experiment consists of two sessions. In the first session, which last 15 minutes and starts immediately when you click the link in this e-mail, we will collect some information about you and your preferences as well as form you of the incentives you can earn. You will be invited for the second session exactly one week later, in which you will complete the tedious task. This second session will last for approximately 30 minutes. By taking part in this experiment, you can earn money through persistence on a tedious task. The exact amount of money you earn will differ between people (depending on which condition you are in) as well as on how persistent you are. You could earn up to 20 euro, but note that if you don’t spend any effort in the second session (or don’t complete the second session at all) you will not earn anything. We expect that most respondents will earn approximately 10 euro for these two sessions combined. More information will be provided in the first session of the experiment. If you are interested in taking part, have a Dutch bank account, AND are willing to be paid through sending us payment requests (via Tikkie or alternative services), please go to the following link: #link#
