                      The Upside of Cheating

This article is about the people who cheat feel a buzz and the buzz may encourage them to cheat again. How scientists figured it out is the people that cheat usually feel guilt or shame and they get an emotional high after cheating. But that's not all, Scientists recruited 179 volunteers for a test of cheating. Their job is to unscramble as many words as possible in under 4 minutes. After the test they were told to tear off the sheet stapled to the test sheet and keep the test sheet. Each person conducted the test in private and 10 participants cheated on that in a room that the volunteers took in. After that, the scientists asked the 10 participants how they felt, and participants felt a surge through positive emotions such as happy, excited, or proud for example.





I felt pretty interested in that topic. The topic did have some psychological and mental teachings about cheating and what feelings you have when you cheat. Just so you know guys, don't cheat, because it's bad for tests and for life.



See ya guys later.
