Factors supporting dishonesty are intricately woven into the fabric of our culture and influence student behavior in higher education. This study investigated the risk factors that, within individuals and a particular institutional environment, created the conditions for academic dishonesty. Based on an extensive review of current literature, the PRECEDE model by Green and Kreuter (2004) was used as a basis for framing questions for an online survey on academic integrity at a small liberal arts institution in the South. Results indicated the significant impact of certain predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors within the institutional culture on academic integrity.
