He used college students, of course, as his research subjects. The way the experiment works is people made decisions in five rounds, and each round was associated with one species of insect.

House crickets, field crickets, and maybe the most disgusting ones are mole crickets. They are really nasty. In the beginning, I brought buckets and tissues because I was afraid that somebody might throw up. It turns out that didn't happen.

In one experiment, for instance, there's two groups of people. If you're in the first group, you'll learn that you're going to be given $3 if you decide to eat five mealworms. If you're in the second group, you'll learn that you're going to be given $30 if you agree to eat five mealworms.

Now, after you learn how much money you're given, but before you make a decision, you can choose between two videos to watch to inform yourself about what eating these things is going to be like. One video is called Why You May Want to Eat Insects. The other video is called Why You May Not Want to Eat Insects.

So these are really large scorpions. They're like as big as your hand. And it takes about $200 to $300 to make college students eat those or to make some college students eat those. In the interest of scientific equity, Ambul ate one of these scorpions himself. Take a plastic spoon, put a small shrimp on it, season it with some motor oil, and then eat everything, including the spoon.

That's about what eating a scorpion is like. What was Ambul trying to learn with this kind of experiment? I wanted to know if I offer incentives to somebody, what do I do with their quality of decision making?

What I'm interested in is whether if I pay people a larger amount of money, are they going to be more interested in watching the positive video than the negative video? And it turns out the answer to that question is yes.

So what did this tell Ambulance? This result looks like incentives are causing bad decisions. But if you're an economist, as Ambul is, these are, in fact, good decisions. How so? If I offer you very little for doing something you might not like, well, what you want to make sure is that you don't say yes by mistake. You're okay with saying no because there's not much to gain.
