Honor codes have become increasingly popular at institutions of higher education as a means of reducing violations of academic integrity such as cheating and other academically dishonest acts. Previous research on honor code effectiveness has been limited to correlational research designs that preclude the examination of cause-and-effect relationships, which can be achieved through experimental designs. The purpose of the current experimentally designed study was to examine the effectiveness of honor code reporting of academic integrity violations in view of typical consequences and the institutional context. Results of the current study suggest that the reporting of academic integrity violations according to an honor code may not be effective over and above verbal reprimand and grade penalty, which may be considered as typically faculty-implemented consequences.
