Subclaims¶

q3 i? Performance-approach goals are not significantly associated with academic dishonesty on average (r = 0.034, CI includes zero), with roughly as many positive as negative effect sizes. → Tanja Fritz 2023 q3 i? Performance-avoidance goals are not significantly associated with academic dishonesty on average (r = 0.060, CI includes zero). → 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 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Three-level meta-analysis pooled estimate for performance-approach goals: "r = 0.034, 95% CI [–0.026, 0.095]", not significantly different from zero, with effect sizes split between positive and negative.

"for performance-approach goals, 43 effect sizes (21 positive, 21 negative, and one zero correlation) from 20 studies (r = 0.034, 95% CI [–0.026, 0.095]) w ere recorded"

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3

Pooled estimate for performance-avoidance goals: "r = 0.060, 95% CI [–0.005, 0.124]", not statistically significant. The authors attribute the mixed pattern to varying methodological specifications between studies.

"for performance-avoidance goals, 27 effect sizes (16 positive and 11 negative) from 14 studies ( r = 0.060, 95% CI [–0.005, 0.124])"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Goal Orientation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
