Subclaims¶

q3 i2 For performance-approach goals, behavioral measures were positively associated with academic dishonesty (r = 0.237), significantly different from self-report measures. → Tanja Fritz 2023 q3 i1 For performance-avoidance goals, intention measures were positively associated with academic dishonesty (r = 0.148), significantly different from self-report measures. → Tanja Fritz 2023 (2)

Tanja Fritz 2023¶

Tanja Fritz, Hernán González Cruz, Stefan Janke, Martin Daumiller. (2023). Elucidating the Associations Between Achievement Goals and Academic Dishonesty: a Meta-analysis. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-023-09753-1

q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-regression moderator analysis of dishonesty measure type: behavioral measures showed r = 0.237, 95% CI = [0.083, 0.373] for performance-approach goals, while self-reports showed no significant association.

"For performance-approach goals, self-report and intention measures were not significantly associated with academic dishonesty, but behavioral measures were significantly different from self-report measures by being positively associated with academic dishonesty (r = 0.237, 95% CI = [0.083, 0.373])"

Tanja Fritz 2023 (2)¶

q3 · i1 · quant-synthesis · r3

Meta-regression moderator analysis: intention measures showed r = 0.148, 95% CI = [0.068, 0.300] for performance-avoidance goals; the difference remained significant when the single behavioral measure was removed.

"For performance-avoidance goals, self-report and behavioral measures (based on one effect size) were not significantly associ ated with academic dishonesty, but intention measures were significantly different from self-report measures by being positively associated with academic dishonesty (r = 0.148, 95% CI = [0.068, 0.300])"
