1986), With The Result Indicates That: 69% of Students Cheat at Colleges With Low Community

Students are more likely to cheat when they perceive their peers as also being cheaters, because it leads them to believe cheating is acceptable in that social context. However, peer pressure to cheat depends not just on the number of dishonest peers, but also on how integrated the community is - in a large but fragmented community where students are split into smaller groups, peer pressure is weaker. Research from Igor Chirikov found the level of reflection of peers' behaviors relates to the solidarity level of the community.

Students are more prone to cheating behavior in the community, where their peers involve

in academic dishonesty. When a cheater perceives others as cheaters, they exert the belief that:
in this social context, cheating is acceptable, consequently, makes them more susceptible to
academic misconduct. Vice versa, students who believe their peers disapprove of cheating are
less likely to cheat. Such relationships are consistent with the Social Learning Theory (Bandura,
1986), with the result indicates that: 69% of students cheat at colleges with low community
disapproval of academic, whereas only about 23% of students cheat at colleges with strong
community disapproval of academic misconduct.
However, the extent to which the cheating peers can put pressure on students, not only depends
on the number of dishonest peers, but also the fragmentation rate of the community. Because
though most of the students strongly disapprove of cheating, peer pressure tends to be weak in a
large but disintegrative community, where the society is split up in smaller groups that exert little
social pressure on each other. The standard example is college, which is generally large social
context compiled by students from different backgrounds and it is seemingly that reflection of
peers’ behavior tends to be clearer than other lower grade academic environments. But the level
of behavioral reflection is proved to relate to solidarity level of the community in the study of
“Higher Education in Russia and Beyond” by Igor Chirikov, leading research fellow National
Research University Higher School of Economics, Russia.
