students do can be considered a self-serving cognition.  I would search
using phrases like "self serving bias" and "self enhancement."  One
possible source is:

Helweg-Larsen, M., & Shepperd, J. A. (2001). Do moderators of the
optimistic bias affect personal or target risk estimates? A review of
the literature. Personality and Social Psychology Review, 5, 74-95.

If this works out, you might consider publishing it in jerhre:

http://www.csueastbay.edu/JERHRE/

the Journal of empirical research on human research ethics.  It is 
just the sort of thing they are looking for.
