| dc.description.abstract | To explore the influence of the 4-H incentive system on the development and retention of 4-H members, this study utilized a measure of success in the 4-H program and a motivational measure. The sample consisted of 56 undergraduate and graduate university students who were former 4-H members, representing four levels of success in the 4-H program. Subjects in the most successful groups scored extremely high on a measure of extraversion, reflecting a high degree of extrinsic motivation. Subjects in the least successful groups scored significantly lower on this measure. Results are discussed in light of theories of adverse effects of rewards. | |
