Mathews, C. O.
Journal of Higher Education, v70 n5 p504-09 Sep-Oct 1999
A survey of 494 students and 46 faculty investigated the nature of and variations in attitudes concerning academic honesty at an institution with an honor system. Responses were to scenarios illustrating ethical dilemmas. Differences were found between students and faculty, males and females, and between college students at various educational levels and high school students. (Originally published in 1932) (MSE)
