    A longitudinal assessment of college student engagement in good practices in undergraduate education
    (2001) Koljatic, M; Kuh, GD
    The purpose of this study was to determine whether student engagement in three good educational practices (cooperation with peers, active learning, faculty-student interaction) increased between 1983 and 1997 in response to the calls to improve the quality of undergraduate education in the United States. The data source was 73,050 students who completed the College Student Experiences Questionnaire. The results from multiple regression and effect size analyses showed that the frequency of involvement in these good practices did not change over time. Variation in the scores of the three indicators across years and types of institution (doctoral-granting universities, comprehensive universities, liberal arts colleges) was minimal indicating a stable pattern with only random fluctuations during this 15 year period.

    This article reports two worldwide studies of stereotypes about liars. These studies are carried out in 75 different countries and 43 different languages. In Study 1, participants respond to the open-ended question "How can you tell when people are lying?" In Study 2, participants complete a questionnaire about lying. These two studies reveal a dominant pan-cultural stereotype: that liars avert gaze. The authors identify other common beliefs and offer a social control interpretation.

    Are students' perceptions of parental acceptance of academic dishonesty associated with its occurrence?
    (2003) Koljatic, M; Silva, M; Ardiles, J
    The study explored the association between the perceptions 175 Chilean business students held about their parents' acceptance of academic dishonesty and their self-reports of academic dishonesty. Regressing scores for parental acceptance onto self-reported academic dishonesty indicated it accounted for a small (2.2%,) but significant amount of variance beyond demographic and academic performance variables. Effect size analysis based on structure coefficients indicated that parental acceptance was the second best predictor in the equation, suggesting that parental acceptance is a correlate that merits further study.

    Comparison of students' and faculty's perceptions of occurrence of dishonest academic behaviors
    (PSYCHOLOGICAL REPORTS, 2002) Koljatic, M; Silva, M
    Examination of estimates of prevalence of 28 dishonest academic behaviors provided by 217 students and 38 faculty members from the same Latin American institution shows faculty's perceptions differed from those held by students. Students perceived dishonest behaviors to be more widespread while faculty's estimates were on average more conservative and closer to actual self-reported rates, These results are not consistent with findings from a study conducted in the United States. The reasons for this discrepancy may reflect institutional or cultural factors, which should be explored in future research.

    The international publication productivity of Latin American countries in the economics and business administration fields
    (2001) Koljatic, M; Silva, M
    The present study compares the international publication productivity of Latin American countries in the fields of business administration and economics from 1995 to 1999. Only four countries - Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico - have a substantial research production in these areas. Among these countries, Chile showed the most favorable results according to various indicators of publication productivity.
