notes: label: Description
content: Between 1924 and 1927, Mark A. May and the Reverend Hugh Hartshorne conducted the Character Education Inquiry under the direction of E.L. Thorndike. This resulted in three volumes on the empirical nature of moral behavior among school children called the Character Education Inquiry (C.E.I). This folder includes a nineteen-page essay entitled “The Psychology of Deceit” that give examples of deceit in nature, explores how deceit has been discussed historically, provides insight into the relationship between diplomacy and deceit, and discusses whether deceit can be studied scientifically. The folder also includes a variety of documents related to analyzing deceit, including synonyms of deceit, a “Rating Scale for Social Influence Study,” the “C.E.I. Short Chart for the Study of Individuals,” the “C.E.I. Rating Guide,” a clipping from The Sierra News entitled “Cheating and Marks,” and a draft of the introduction/summary of the report. Many of these papers include notes and copy edits.
