It's a questionable study. Giving the same amount of money to a person from the UK and China makes no sense given the difference in income between these countries.
Also, this conflates factors other than cheating, such as the respect respondents have for the people administering the test, the degree to which respondents treat this whole thing seriously, etc.
The fact that the study says what we'd expect, doesn't imply it's a good study.
- throwaway_ta 3y agoFWIW, the 70% number of Chinese cheating students matches almost exactly with my own experience as a teaching assistant. I believe that most TAs with a sufficiently large class have made similar experiences. In general, cheating is much more rampant and organized than most people would expect. Most institutions just do not care because catching and punishing cheaters is a lot of work with little short term benefit.
