An experiment was conducted with preschool children to test whether a person's intrinsic motivation in an activity may be decreased by extrinsic salient rewards in Japan like in America. Children solved some jigsaw puzzles and received assorted candies, then they were observed how long they did other jigsaw puzzles. The results showed that the effects of extrinsic rewards on intrinsic motivation in an activity varied with the subject's social background. In uptown children's intrinsic motivation in the puzzles was decreased by candies as extrinsic rewards. While in downtown children's intrinsic motivation was not decreased by the same rewards as used in uptown. In downtown the rewards seemed to increase children's intrinsic motivation. Uptown children were given tangible rewards more frequently by their mothers than downtown children. But the reason why the effects of extrinsic rewards varied thus is remained unsolved.
