With each question, students were instructed to mark one of five possible choices.The same five questions were attached to each of the ten ethical issues, as follows:• Where do you stand on this ethical issue? The possible responses were “agree strongly with viewpoint A,” “lean toward viewpoint A,” “neutral,” “lean toward viewpoint B,” and “agree strongly with viewpoint B.”• How would you describe your interest in this ethical issue?

Forexample, if researchers know that falsification and fabrication are the most common types ofresearch misconduct and they know that people are more likely to act unethically when in agroup situation, they are more likely to move to level-2 when they are in a group situation whendealing with unwanted experimental results. This is similar to students moving to level-2 whenfaced with an abstract conditional statement (If A, then B). In addition, learning aboutsituationism may motivate students to take Doris’s advice and try to avoid putting themselves inethically challenging situations (Doris, 1998). For example, researchers
