Los resultados muestran diferencias significativas entre género y también entre las carreras. Las mujeres muestran menos tolerancia hacia la trampa en los exámenes mientras que los estudiantes de contabilidad en la mayoría de los casos demostraron tener menos tolerancia hacia la trampa que sus colegas de administración.

Abstract

The objective of the study is to know the differences in the behavior of university students towards academic dishonesty, based on gender, race and academic performance. Contingency and chi-square tables were used to analyze the data. The study included men and women students of business administration and accounting. The results show significant differences between gender and also between careers. Women show less tolerance to the trap in the exams while accounting students in most cases were shown to have less tolerance towards the trap than their management colleagues. There were no significant differences between students of different academic performance.
