Question
Researchers studying the relationship between honesty, age and self-control conducted an experiment on 160 children between the ages of 5 and 15. Participants reported their age, sex, and whether they were an only child or not. The researchers asked each child to toss a fair coin in private and to record the outcome (white or black) on a paper sheet, and said they would only reward children who report white. Half the students were explicitly told not to cheat and the others were not given any explicit instructions. In the no instruction group probability of cheating was found to be uniform across groups based on child’s characteristics. In the group that was explicitly told to not cheat, girls were less likely to cheat, and while rate of cheating did not vary by age for boys, it decreased with age for girls. [Alessandro Bucciol and Marco Piovesan. “Luck or cheating? A field experiment on honesty with children”.

this is an experiment,Also it is not an observational study, then causal relationships could possibly be determined. Also, this experiment deals directly with cheating and these results could only be generalized to children between the ages of 5 and 15
