The authors searched five scholarly databases for a decade of research publications examining learning from failure as an instructional strategy. Out of 187 publications, 62 were found to be relevant to the topic from which only 12 used experimental design to examine the issue and reported statistics appropriate for meta-analysis. The studies also…

Thorndike's (1969) "three P" model of faculty grading orientations (FGOs) serves as a theoretical basis for examining faculty's grading behavior in this study. Using data from a 2014 faculty survey I analyzed the responses of 1,742 faculty at 18 four-year, primarily teaching institutions in the U.S. to examine the relationship between…

Establishing causal links when experiments are not feasible is an important challenge for psychology researchers. The question of whether parents' spanking causes children's externalizing behavior problems poses such a challenge because randomized experiments of spanking are unethical, and correlational studies cannot rule out potential selection…

Student misbehavior has long presented challenges to school teachers and leaders. Scholars have argued that the extent to which students comply with rules is linked to their perceptions that their school's rules and authority are fair. To understand one driver of noncompliance with school rules, this study asks: "What are students'…
