Evidence¶

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

Pooled estimate from the three-level meta-analysis: "r = 0.190, 95% CI [0.015, 0.354]" for work-avoidance goals, consistent with the assumption that cheating offers shortcuts to reduce effort.

"Lastly, we found statistically significant small positive associa tions for work-avoidance goals (r = 0.190, 95% CI [0.015, 0.354]), based on 6 effect sizes (5 positive and 1 negative) from 3 studies"
