In Vohs and Schooler's (2008) study, participants were told that the computer would show the answer to each problem unless they pressed the space bar. The computer secretly recorded what they did, and participants were never asked whether they had cheated.
Explain how this task measured cheating and why it is better than asking participants about their honesty.
36 exam-style questions on Edexcel GCSE Psychology 7.2 Studies, covering 7.2.1 Vohs and Schooler (2008) and 7.2.2 Van Houtte and Jarvis (1995). Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
