Abstract
Two hundred twenty college students volunteered to complete questionna ires to measure Type A behavior, academic dishonesty, and classroom or ientation. The present data replicated and extended a previous report (Weiss, Gilbert, Giordano, & Davis, 1993) by showing that learning ori entation, lower levels of academic dishonesty, and Type A characterist ics were positively related. Conversely, grade orientation, Type B cha racteristics, and higher levels of academic dishonesty were positively related.
