Abstract
The overclaiming technique (OCT) is frequently used in research. It is based on analysis of reported familiarity with existing and non-existing items.
The inclusion of the OCT in PISA is important for educational research. The aim of this article is to thematically categorize studies using PISA 2012 OCT data, which has not been done before.
We identified five thematic categories: mathematics education, questionnaire surveys responding, dishonest behavior, (over)confidence, and inequalities between students. In future, the technique can be used in the context of school misbehavior research.
