Curvilinear Relationships among Anticipated Success, Cheating Behavior, Temptation to Cheat, and Perceived Instrumentality of Cheating.
Houston, John P.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n5 p758-62 Oct 1978
Undergraduates could earn a $10 bonus by performing above average on a free-recall task. Following a pretest, success messages were manipulated. During a subsequent test, subjects could cheat. Cheating was related to anticipated success in a curvilinear fashion with medium success yielding the most cheating. Cheating and expectations are discussed. (Author/RD)
