Individual Differences in Student Cheating.
Newstead, Stephen E.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v88 n2 p229-41 Jun 1996
The incidence and causes of cheating were studied through a questionnaire completed by 943 English college students. Reported cheating was widespread, more common among men and less able students, and more common in science and technology students. Student motivation appears to be a major factor in explaining the differences. (SLD)
