“…Li et al (2016) observed that introducing nancial incentives or penalties led to a noticeable improvement in task performance and checking behavior, compared to a control group with no such consequences. This is further corroborated by Brooks et al (2012) and Cannito et al (2023), who found that the prospect of monetary loss exerts a greater motivational force than the potential for gains, highlighting a general aversion to loss over the pursuit of rewards. The dynamics of error processing and behavioral adjustment in the context of procrastination are intriguing.…”

The late return of library books is a manifestation of procrastination, resulting in fines that impact the overall user experience at the library. Overdue or lost books can disrupt the library’s circulation services and affect the satisfaction of other patrons’ book needs. This study analyzes overdue readers at Nanjing Normal University Library from 2012 to 2023, examining factors such as the frequency of overdue incidents, borrowing habits, instances of book loss, duration of overdue periods, and the gender and background of the readers. The findings from path analysis suggest that the accumulation of fines is a deterrent for overdue behavior by influencing borrowing habits and serving as a warning against procrastination. Structural equation modeling analysis reveals a positive correlation between reader self-regulation and overdue attitudes, negatively impacting book circulation. Additionally, the study observes the application of the law of large numbers to the occurrence of book overdue, with a weak correlation between overdue incidents and instances of book loss.

This research is aimed at investigating the characteristics of activity of brain areas that underlie action execution and are modulated by the error detection mechanism under conditions of various potential monetary benefits of manipulative truthful and false actions. It is shown that the implementation of potentially less profitable deceptive actions is associated with a relatively higher level of functional activity of the inferior frontal gyrus, a structure that receives information from structures associated with the error detection mechanism. This effect was revealed in experimental conditions with less reinforced deceptive actions, both in comparison with relatively more rewarded deception, and with manipulative truthful actions, regardless of their reward. Moreover, the increase in the profit of deceptive actions is accompanied by the disappearance of a statistically significant difference in the activity of the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, which has been observed in the comparison of equally low profitable truthful and false actions. These results indicate a possible mechanism of expected monetary benefit influence on the manipulative decision to lie, according to which, the prefrontal structures underlying control of behavior show less susceptibility to the involvement of the error detection mechanism in maintaining deceptive actions.
