论文摘要
以基于区块链的代币形式的加密经济激励措施被视为共享经济的推动者，可以将社会转移到更大的可持续性。然而，对这些代币对人类共享行为的影响的了解仍然有限，这对有效的加密经济激励措施的设计构成了挑战。这项研究应用了自决理论来研究这种代币对信息共享场景中人类行为的影响。通过使用涉及132名参与者的2x2阶乘设计的随机对照试验的形式利用实验方法，分析了两种令牌激励措施对人类信息共享行为的影响。个人获得这些令牌以换取他们的共同信息。根据收集的令牌，个人获得货币付款并建立声誉。除了研究这些激励措施对共享信息数量的影响外，该研究还包括信息的质量特征，例如准确性和上下文化。在不包括质量的同时，对数量的关注已被确定为先前工作的限制。除了确认先前已知的效果（例如激励措施的内在动机）之外，这些动机也存在基于区块链的令牌外，本文的发现同时应用了迄今迄今未报告的多个令牌之间未报告的相互作用效果。这些发现进行了严格的讨论，并将其纳入了最近的工作和道德考虑的背景下。基于理论的经验研究是那些研究加密经济令牌或数字货币对人类行为的影响的人的感兴趣，并支持社区为共享经济体设计有效的个性化激励措施。
Cryptoeconomic incentives in the form of blockchain-based tokens are seen as an enabler of the sharing economy that could shift society towards greater sustainability. Nevertheless, knowledge of the impact of these tokens on human sharing behavior is still limited and this poses a challenge to the design of effective cryptoeconomic incentives. This study applies the theory of self-determination to investigate the impact of such tokens on human behavior in an information-sharing scenario. By utilizing an experimental methodology in the form of a randomized control trial with a 2x2 factorial design involving 132 participants, the effects of two token incentives on human information-sharing behavior are analyzed. Individuals obtain these tokens in exchange for their shared information. Based on the collected tokens, individuals receive a monetary payment and build reputation. Besides investigating the effect of these incentives on the quantity of shared information, the study includes quality characteristics of the information, such as accuracy and contextualization. The focus on quantity while excluding quality has been identified as a limitation in previous work. In addition to confirming previously known effects such as a crowding-out of intrinsic motivation by incentives, which also exists for blockchain-based tokens, the findings of this paper point to a hitherto unreported interaction effect between multiple tokens when applied simultaneously. The findings are critically discussed and put into the context of recent work and ethical considerations. The theory-based-empirical study is of interest to those investigating the effect of cryptoeconomic tokens or digital currencies on human behavior and supports the community in the design of effective personalized incentives for sharing economies.
