- W172663475 abstract "Although academic dishonesty is known to be prevalent in institutions of higher education, little research has examined the role that differences in disciplinary techniques used in childhood play in its occurrence. This study investigated the relationship between specific disciplinary practices, particularly harsh physical discipline, and the level of academic misconduct in college. Using an online survey, 231 students from three colleges responded to questions regarding their participation in college cheating, satisfaction with family relations, and parental disciplinary practices. Consistent with past studies, 80% of the participants in the study endorsed engaging in some form of cheating in college. In addition, 35% of the sample reported experiencing at least some form of severe physical discipline (e.g., being slapped) during childhood. A hierarchical regression revealed that students who reported experiencing more severe forms of physical discipline engaged in higher levels of academic dishonesty. The use of less punitive disciplinary techniques, including spanking, and family satisfaction was not associated with increased college cheating. The deleterious effect that severe physical punishment may have on moral development and parent-child attachment may explain the study's findings. ********** Many studies, both professional and popular, have found that academic dishonesty in its various forms is a significant problem on college campuses, with prevalence rates running upward to 80% among students (e.g., Gabriel, 2010; McCabe, 2005; Robinson, Amburgey, Swank, & Faulkner, 2004). Cheating compromises the educational process by creating a way for students to claim they have mastered the core concepts of a particular discipline without having done so. Engaging in academically dishonest practices also provides an unfair advantage for students who cheat over those who do not by allowing those who cheat to spend less time on scholastic tasks than those who are honest. Finally, cheating in college reinforces a pattern of dishonest behavior that is likely to occur again in the professional lives of students once they enter the work force (Alt & Geiger, 2012; Lupton & Chapman, 2002). Previous researchers have investigated many environmental and personal factors associated with academic dishonesty. Environmental factors found to influence the prevalence of academic dishonesty include the quality of students' secondary education (Jackson, Levine, Fumham, & Burr, 2002), perceived sanctions against cheating on college campuses (Robinson et al., 2004), childhood background in a collectivistic versus individualistic culture (Alt & Geiger, 2012; Martin, Rao, & Sloan, 2011), and perceptions regarding the normalcy of cheating among students at different institutions (Whitley, 1998). Individual differences associated with cheating in college courses have included gender, with men found to cheat more than women (McCabe, 2005; Niiya, Ballantyne, North, & Crocker, 2008); previous cheating (Harding, Mayhew, Finelli, & Carpenter, 2007; Sieman, 2009); lower prior academic performance (Nathanson, Paulhus, & Williams, 2006); college major (e.g., business) (Harding, Mayhew, Finelli, & Carpenter, 2007; McCabe, 2005), and personality traits such as honesty, intrinsic motivation, and neuroticism (Brunell, Staats, Barden, & Hupp, 2011; Jordan, 2011; Staats, Hupp, & Hagley, 2008; Stone, Kisamore, & Jawahar, 2008). Differences in parenting techniques also may relate to academic dishonesty among college students. For example, Estep and Olson (2011) investigated whether those who perceived lower levels of parental involvement and warmth during childhood would endorse more favorable attitudes toward cheating in college. However, these investigators failed to find a significant correlation between parental warmth/involvement and more tolerant attitudes toward academic dishonesty. …" @default.
