2 Introduction 1. What are the main research questions in this article? The main research questions include What is the meaning of moral identities? What is destined as social anxiety and its symptoms? What is academic dishonesty among students and its effect on American college students? 2. Why do these questions matter? Research questions are very important this is because they enable one to set out what they want to answer, as it will help one plan for research. 3. What is the main finding of one article the authors cite? Who are the authors of that paper? In the study of the relation of general deviance to academic dishonesty, authors Kelvin L. Blankenship and Bernard E. Whitley found out that cheating on examinations and using false excuses to avoid taking an exam is a scheduled form of deviance among students. 4. What were the hypotheses of this paper? Fewer students in principled groups remember involving themselves in academic cheating relative to students in the convenient group. Minimal students in principled groups will recall engaging in a diversity of unethical behaviors, such as fraud and lying, compared to students in the expedited groups. Cheating in academics is associated with signs of social anxiety. Method

Where they were in the late adolescent stage of 18.57 years. 6. Procedure: What did the author do to answer the questions? To answer their questions, the author filled out three surveys the integrity scale, the antisocial behavior scale, and a symptom checklist of social phobia. Results 7. What did the author find? The research findings reveal a positive association between academic cheating and other forms of antisocial action. Academic dishonesty was significantly positive in collaboration with other antisocial behaviors distinguished in the study. 8. Did the findings support the author’s hypotheses? Why or why not? The author's findings supported the hypothesis as the data supported the argument that college students devoted to a practical ethic are a significant threat to social anxiety. Discussion 9. What are some implications of these findings? The finding that strongly devoted students to a beneficial ethic is at a significant threat does not imply the converse association that students who suffer from social anxiety are necessarily expedient. 10. What do you think the author could have done better? Provide a limitation of this study The author should have interviewed students to get the appropriate information from them. Identifying a hypothesis is a problem mostly when it does not align with the author's findings.
