In 1959, Festinger and Carlsmith conducted a classic experiment in which they asked participants to tell a lie (about how interesting a very boring study was). The researchers paid participants either 1 or 20 to tell this lie. The same participants were then asked how interesting they really thought the study was. What did the researchers find?
 
  a. There was no difference between those paid 1 and those paid 20; both said that the (very boring) study was indeed boring.
  b. There was no difference between those paid 1 and those paid 20; both said that the (very boring) study was in fact very interesting.
  c. Compared to those paid 1, those paid 20 rated the study as much more interesting.
  d. Compared to those paid 20, those paid 1 rated the study as much more interesting.
