The following study was the first to examine the impact of an AR intervention embedded within training in child development and traumatic stress response. Of particular interest was the malleability and stability of attributions of child behavior, and their contribution to discipline responses among 114 child educators (e.g., teachers, administrators). Post-training, there was a significant decrease in participants' causal attributions and unsupportive intervention preference and a significant increase in trauma-informed attitudes, largely maintained at one-year follow-up, suggesting that this training intervention offers a feasible and scalable method to integrate child development and trauma-informed care to improve perceptions of child behavior.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology","volume":"93 ","pages":"Article 101671"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141482750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its significance, our understanding of cheating behaviors among elementary school students remains very limited. Addressing this gap, this study examined the role of moral judgments of cheating and persistence in academic cheating among elementary school students from Grades 2, 4, and 6. We found that approximately 25% of elementary school students reported having cheated academically, regardless of grade and gender. Importantly, students' moral judgments and persistence were significantly and uniquely associated with academic cheating. Students who viewed cheating as more morally wrong and demonstrated higher persistence were less likely to cheat. These two factors help explain the relationships between students' beliefs about the acceptability of cheating, the commonality of peer cheating, the severity of the consequences of cheating, and self-reported cheating behavior. These findings confirm the early emergence of academic cheating and highlight the pivotal roles of moral judgment and persistence. They underscore the importance of educational practices from the elementary school years that challenge cheating-normalizing attitudes, emphasize the consequences of dishonesty, and foster moral understanding and persistence, thereby promoting academic integrity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology","volume":"93 ","pages":"Article 101676"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141622748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
