Bullying02:04

Bullying

8.5K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies02:09

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

38.0K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.9K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

101
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

103
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Extensive research exists on the causes of academic dishonesty.
  • However, the consequences of cheating on student learning outcomes remain under-researched.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of academic cheating on the learning outcomes of middle school students.
  • To provide experimental evidence on how cheating affects knowledge acquisition.

Main Methods:

  • A naturalistic study involving 198 middle school children.
  • Participants re-scored a previous math test, with an opportunity to cheat.
  • A follow-up test assessed learning improvement one week later without cheating opportunities.

Main Results:

  • 54% of students cheated on at least one question during the re-scoring phase.
  • Students who cheated and falsely marked incorrect answers as correct showed significantly less improvement on those items in the second test.
  • This effect was compared to students who honestly scored their incorrect answers.

Conclusions:

  • Academic cheating can actively interfere with children's learning and knowledge consolidation.
  • The findings offer the first experimental evidence linking cheating behavior to impaired learning outcomes in this age group.
