Students' Reactions After Cheating: An Attributional Analysis.

Forsyth, Donelson R.; And Others

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v10 n1 p72-82 Jan 1985

The hypothesis that students who cheat will externalize the cause of this behavior was tested by contrasting the causal inferences of cheating and noncheating college students. Results supported Kelley's attributional model. Uninvolved observers also indicated that students tended to formulate self-serving attributions. (Author/BS)
