Standardizing Perceived Task Difficulty for Studies of Cheating: A Methodological Refinement and Sample Tasks.

Monte, Christopher F.; Fish, Jefferson M.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v51 n1 p311-17 Aug 1980

Three "tests" of intellectual competence (vocabulary, remote associates, trigram word-making) which permit cheating were standardized by rankings of 71 college students. The three tests were found to be equidistant along the dimension of perceived difficulty. Suggestions are made for using these tasks in cheating studies. (Author/SJL)
