Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the effects of consequence type and direction of misstatement on generalized rule control and choice of female college students. Accuracy, overstatement and understatement of rules were analyzed in both gain and loss conditions to compare rule control and choice. The specified response for accurate rules was chosen more often by the subjects if it was stated that it had higher gains and lower losses than alternative responses. Therefore, rule compliance is higher when the favorable results or gains are overstated and unfavorable results or losses are understated.
