Research on academic dishonesty has consistently been proven to have a detrimental impact on the learning process. Nevertheless, there is very little research that explores “cheating” from student perspectives, or the role that peer groups play in the proliferation or reduction of cheating cultures. This study seeks to fill the gap using an innovative research design which draws on a sample of 1000 high school students in five provinces of Vietnam to understand (1) how students define “cheating,” (2) how different classroom structures and climates affect the frequency of cheating, and (3) what factors lead to widespread and systematic cheating.
