4 To 6 Grade Children In Math Test Since The Reading Situation Of Lying In The Research

Children’s lying is one of the issues explored by psychologists when they concerned about the moraldevelopment and social development. And the exam lying is a common phenomenon in daily life. Theresearcher hopes to explore the children’s exam lying behavior in order to analyze the factors which affectchildren’s exam lying, and then have some implications for the teaching of school and the parents’ guidance.The study is a between-subjects design of three factors. Using the self-scoring situation as independentvariable, the grade and the family rearing pattern as controlled variables, and lying behavior and violationextent as dependent variables, we explored the children’s lying performance in grade4-6when they marktheir math examination papers themselves.The researcher adopt the math unit test drafted by teachers, and select the grade4-6children of aprimary school as subjects. Selecting two classes randomly as experiment class in each grade, we assignedthem randomly to the two levels of independent variable. In addition, researcher will release the EMBUquestionnaire to obtain children’s situation, and integrate data to explore the character of children lying inself-scoring situation and the relationship between children lying and their family rearing pattern. Resultsfrom the research show that:1. Grade4-6children’s lying behavior doesn’t show the significant difference in two self-scoringsituations, but grade6children show this significant difference.2. Children’s lying behavior exists significant differences in grade variable. And as for theviolation extent, grade4children and grade5children exist the margin significant difference,and grade4and grade6children exist significant difference, and grade5and grade6childrendon’t exist this difference.3. Children’s lying behavior and three factors of EMBU exist significant or margin significantdifference. It exist margin significant difference in father’s disciplinal and strict pattern, andexist significant difference in father’s rejection and denial pattern and mother’s excessiveinterference and protection pattern.4. Father’s excessive interference pattern or the rejection and denial pattern both has significantinfluence to the violation extent of lying children.According to the analysis of the results, this research have several conclusions as followed:1. The grade4-6children have formed the cognition and judgment to lying behavior.2. The self-scoring situation don’t directly affect the lying behavior of grade4-5children, but it hassignificant influence on grade6children.3. Children’s exam lying behavior exist significant differences in grade variable, and the high-gradechildren perform more lying behavior.4. The self-scoring situation has significant influence on children’s violation extent, and grade’sinfluence is less than the self-scoring situation.5. Parents’ excessive strict, interference or protection rearing pattern may increase the children’slying behavior, and father’s excessive interference or rejection and denial pattern can affectchildren’s violation extent.6. Research found that except lying children, there exist some children who mark exam paper withstricter standard. And one child may not only show the stricter standard behavior, but also performthe exam lying.As a result, we can speculate that children’s exam lying perhaps isn’t a serious ethical issue. It is a normal phenomenon during the children’s development. Parents’ excessive strict or protection rearingpattern might make the children difficult to understand the real reason for adult prohibit their lyingbehavior. Thus it is easy to make children to form a superficial and formalize understanding about therules, which go against children’s development.
