Volunteers Versus Non-Volunteers—Which Group Cheats More, and Holds More lax Attitudes About Cheating?

Academic dishonesty has been a frequent topic of research and discussion. In this article, we examine the differences between
student volunteers and student non-volunteers in terms of their attitudes towards academic dishonesty as well as their cheating
behaviors. We found that student volunteers held more serious attitudes towards cheating and academic dishonesty than did
student non-volunteers; however there were not many significant differences between student volunteers and student non-volunteers
when it came to cheating behaviors. We finally provide some suggestions for future research in the topic of academic dishonesty.
