Describe the factors that make it more likely a student will cheat.
What will be an ideal response?
Students give many reasons for why they cheat. Pressure to get high grades, time constraints, poor teaching, and lack of interest are motivations for cheating, as is the perception that their teacher is unfair or incompetent. Situation has a lot of power to encourage cheating as well. If students are not being closely monitored during a test, know their peers are cheating, know whether another student has been caught cheating, or know their scores will be publicly posted, then they may have a greater incentive and motivation to cheat. Among personality traits, low conscientiousness and low agreeableness have also been shown to contribute to the likelihood of cheating.
