Anderman, Eric M.; Griesinger, Tripp; Westerfield, Gloria

Journal of Educational Psychology, v90 n1 p84-93 Mar 1998

The relations of motivational variables to self-reported cheating behavior and beliefs in science were studied with 285 middle school students. Students who reported cheating in science perceived that their classrooms were extrinsically focused. The use of deep cognitive strategies was related negatively to cheating. (SLD)
