Description

Using scenario-based survey data from a sample of 330 university students, this study examined differences between criminal justice majors and noncriminal justice majors in the effects of rational choice variables and control measures on intentions to cheat on a college examination. Friends' cheating behavior was significantly more influential in predicting criminal justice students' intentions to cheat, whereas noncriminal justice students were affected more strongly by moral beliefs and by the perceived pleasure of test cheating. Implications of these findings are discussed.
