IntroductionAcademic dishonesty is a threat to every student and every institution of higher education. The act itself is contrary to the core values ​​of higher education (Bowers, 1964). Dishonesty compromises the integrity of the individual student as well as the reputation of the institution (Engler, Landau, & Epstein, 2008; Gallant, 2008). Many researchers have indicated that cheating is a serious problem on campuses (Bowers, 1964; Engler et al., 2008; Studies completed by Bowers (1964) and McCabe and Trevino (1996) revealed nearly identical results as concerns student cheating behavior despite the 30-year time frame; both studies found that approximately 70% of students have cheated. Recent findings, however, indicate that college students cheat more often, in different ways. especially due to technological advances), while the perceived severity of cheating has decreased (McCabe & Trevino, 1996; Stephens, Young, & Calabrese, 2007).Promoting academic integrity and morally developing students are integral functions of institutions of higher education (Whitley & Keith-Spiegel, 2001) All stakeholders of the institution, students, faculty, administration, and staff, must recognize and incorporate the value of ethical behavior; without college-level effort, dishonesty will prevail (Whitley & Keith-Spiegel, 2001). Currently, widespread research on academic dishonesty includes reasons for cheating and personal characteristics that can predict cheating behavior; however, there is very little research that highlights the role moral development plays in cheating.
