Attributes and Statuses of College Students Associated with Classroom Cheating on a Small-Sized Campus
Dawkins, Russell L.
College Student Journal, v38 n1 p116 Mar 2004
This exploratory study examines self-reported acts of academic dishonesty for a sample of 858 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students on a small college campus (8,350 students). The study raises awareness to the occurrences, and challenges of academic dishonesty at small-sized institutions, somewhat overlooked in empirical research. Attributes of students and characteristics of the campus are found to be associated with cheating on classroom examinations (42.4%), but less so for copying from the internet or "cyber-cheating" (19.8%). More important in the decision to cheat however, are the informal networking, and socialization among students.
