Examining the Culture of Academic Integrity: A Study of Risk Factors
-
Claire A. Stiles
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.
