Dataset of cheating in childhood: Exploring the link between parental reports of problem behaviors and dishonesty on simulated academic tests.

The present data were reported in the article "Cheating in childhood: Exploring the link between parental reports of problem behaviors and dishonesty on simulated academic tests" (Wilson et al., 2024). It reports the findings from an online study to assess children's cheating behaviors on simulated academic tests.

Smiling, face covering, and rhythmic body rocking in children who cheat versus do not cheat.

Cheating is the behavioral realization of immoral decisions. It is a dynamic process that does not begin or end on the enactment of cheating. However, little research has closely looked at the behavioral dynamics of the cheating process.

Cheating in childhood: Exploring the link between parental reports of problem behaviors and dishonesty on simulated academic tests.

This study investigated the relationship between parental reports of children's behavioral problems and their cheating behaviors on simulated academic tests, addressing a significant gap in understanding early childhood academic cheating and its potential links to broader behavioral issues. We hypothesized that children's early problem behaviors would be predictive of their academic cheating. To test these hypotheses, children aged 4 to 12 years took part in six unmonitored academic tests that measured their cheating behaviors while their parents completed the Child Behavior Checklist and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire elsewhere.

Academic cheating in early childhood: Role of age, gender, personality, and self-efficacy.

The current study investigated the association of children's age, gender, ethnicity, Big Five personality traits, and self-efficacy with their academic cheating behaviors. Academic cheating is a rampant problem that has been documented in adolescents and adults for nearly a century, but our understanding of the early development and factors influencing academic cheating is still weak. Using Zoom, the current study recruited children aged 4 to 12 years (N = 388), measured their cheating behaviors through six tasks simulating academic testing scenarios, and assessed their Big Five personality traits and self-efficacy through a modified Berkeley Puppet Interview paradigm, as well as age and gender.

Arsenic-Redox Transformation and Plant Growth Promotion by Purple Nonsulfur Bacteria CS2 and SS5.

Arsenic (As) is a well-known toxic metalloid found naturally and released by different industries, especially in developing countries. Purple nonsulfur bacteria (PNSB) are known for wastewater treatment and plant growth promoting abilities. As-resistant PNSB were isolated from a fish pond.
