Abstract
Research on academic dishonesty has generally relied on survey techniques, which may fail to capture students' true feelings about cheating. The prese nt investigation used focus group discussions to gain a fuller understandin g of students' beliefs about academic dishonesty. The results suggest that, in regard to their cheating, students generally place the blame on others.
