WHEN CONSTRUAL LEVEL AND FINANCIAL INCENTIVE COLLIDES: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON COOPERATIVE BEHAVIOR AMONG JAVANESE AND BALINESE
Abstract: This study attempted
to answer the question of how the financial incentives can influence
cooperative behavior in situations involving taboo tradeoffs, and the extent to
which construal levels (abstract or concrete) also influences the willingness
of participants to perform said tradeoffs. The study was conducted by taking
three different contexts, namely a voluntary provision of tutorials from senior
students to the junior (Depok study), mosque renovation activities (Mojokerto
study) and renovation of temples (Bali study). The study used laboratory
experimental methods for Depok study, and field experiment for Mojokerto and
Bali studies. In Depok, we found that students were willing to do taboo
tradeoffs and perceived them as not taboo. However, even though Mojokerto and
Bali participants perceived the exchange as taboo, they were willing to do it.
In general, we also found that participants tend to contribute higher taboo
tradeoffs in abstract situation.
