| Research Abstract |
The present paper integrates the concept of differential reinforcement into Grasmick’s extended deterrence theory to propose that rational actors, in deciding whether or not to comply with the law, should be expected to consider not only socially imposed punishments for non/compliance but also rewards for non/compliance, tapping both the certainty and the magnitude of each. An analysis of survey data from underage college students show that perceptions of social rewards for nondrinking inhibit the inclination to violate the law in a manner similar to the perceived threats of social sanctions for the illegal behavior. Similarly, perceptions of social sanctions for nonsmoking, like those of rewards for drinking, increase students’ inclinations to commit the offenses. Finally, the balance of the perceived punishments and rewards for the two illegal behaviors determine whether a college student will be compliant or compliant with the law, but the findings for the balance for the compliance appear less compatible with the expected utility model.
