10、and PrisonersBTwo recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior.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
11、 the study.They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoners Dilemma. The game is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all
12、gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players. Harvard researcher David Rand says the most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded themost earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded the least. And the
13、more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings. The study appeared last month in the journal Science.The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse(虐待). Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight

The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishmen
