A researcher is conducting a survey among employees of a large multinational corporation. The terms of the contract stipulate that the study participants will receive compensation for completing both the multiple-choice questionnaire and the open-ended questions. During the analysis of the results, the researcher observed that numerous participants responded to the questions hastily and without adequate reflection. Consequently, she convened a meeting with a randomly selected group of participants to address their behavior. The three economic enlightenment theories offer distinct perspectives from which she can argue that the participants ought to have approached the test with greater attentiveness despite the absence of such stipulation in the contract. Notably, the participants may invoke these three perspectives to rationalize (or self-condemn) their actions.
