题目解答
答案
本题考察对学术文章引言部分句子功能的理解。我们需要明确括号中句子在段落中的作用。
1. 第一句指出以往研究主要依赖自我报告，属于对前人研究局限性的总结。
2. 括号中的句子：“The present study includes an empirical portion in which participants are put in a situation in which cheating may be to their advantage.” 这里描述了当前研究的方法，即通过实证实验将参与者置于可能作弊的情境中。
3. 第三句提出假设：当提供金钱奖励时，参与者最可能作弊。
4. 最后一句明确研究目的：调查参与者对作弊的态度及学术动机、自我效能和学术诚信对作弊行为的影响。
综上，括号中的句子主要介绍了当前研究的方法，而非研究目的或假设。它表明研究将通过实证实验来探讨作弊行为，而非仅依赖自我报告。
答案：D. Methodology of the present study.
