Research on positive and negative incentive method to active individual based on safety management: FRN evidence

In the process of enterprise´s safety production, human factor plays a more and more important role. According to the classification of personality psychology, taking the active individual as the research object, through the method of cognitive neuroscience experiment to make a comparative study of the effectiveness of the positive and negative incentives. The experiment based on the evaluation paradigm of responding task results, mainly adopting “tip - target - feedback” paradigm, through comparing the stimulates from two groups, in the block1,16 participants with active traits were asked to respond to the square of different positions on the screen in the prescriptive time through clicking the key. If the participants click the square before the ending, a coin would be given as a reward; otherwise, no rewards would be given. In the same way, in the block 2, if the participants don´t click the square before the ending time, a punishment would be given; otherwise, no punishment would be given. Negative components can be used to analyze the feedback, FRN, reflecting the subjects themselves in the mind of positive incentive method and negative incentive method two kinds of incentive methods to assess potency. The results reflected that positive incentive has more accurate answers than that of negative incentive, and punishment has a more significant FRN waveform than that of reward, when the participants give a right answer, without given a reward has a more significant FRN waveform than that of having a reward. This demonstrates that positive incentive method has a better management effect than negative when it comes to active individual during the safety management.
