Let’s explore one of the studies that pitted e-signatures against hand-written signatures. Participants rolled a pair of 12-sided dice and self-reported their scores to the experimenters (Chou, 2015). Each participant’s score translated into raffle tickets for a $50 prize. So, rolling two ones meant two raffle tickets and rolling two twelves meant 24 raffle tickets. The experimenters didn’t see what they rolled – an ideal opportunity to cheat! How did signatures fit in? The experimenters randomly assigned research

How did signatures fit in? The experimenters randomly assigned research participants to one of two groups: Before rolling the dice, participants in one group verified that they understood the rules by signing their name by hand, whereas participants in the second group confirmed their identity with a version of an e-signature.
