In evaluating programs in which children are offered rewards (e.g., money, pizza) for reading books, a social psychologist might remind us that: - Rewards might convince children that they are reading simply to secure pizza or money. - Excessive rewards will undermine the children's self-esteem. - Punishers are more effective than rewards when dealing with humans. - Rewards do not have an effect if children don't like reading in the first place.

According to Sandel, paying children to read books to promote literacy among the poor is most morally questionable for which of the following reasons? Group of answer choices: 1. It is corruptive because reading and education should be intrinsically rewarding rather than a source of revenue. 2. It is coercive because it forces impoverished children who need money to read so they can help support their family. 3. It crowds out other values like spending time with friends and family, which are also important to the healthy psychological development of children. 4. It is ineffective because children will read short or easy books to make money, rather than reading more challenging books that better develop their reading skills.
