| Research Abstract |
The progression of classroom rule-breaking was investigated via computer simulations and questionnaires. The results showed that three conditions must exist for rule-breaking behaviors to spread: (A) the students base their behaviors on both individual and situational factors, (B) deviant students outnumber the obedient students, and (C) rule-breaking students have a greater influence on their peers than do rule-obeying students.
In addition, positive correlations exist between the simulation output (predicted value) and the questionnaire data (measured value) about the frequency of rule-breaking behaviors. These correlations imply that the simulation is a valid measure of this progression.
