Once a cheate­r, always a cheate­r? The saying “Once a cheater, always a cheater” may be true as researchers have now discovered that students’ tolerance for cheating may spill over into their careers, reported Hindustan Times. The study by professors at two California State University campuses, including San Francisco State University, tackled two questions: If students tolerate cheating in the classroom, will they also tolerate unethical behaviour in their careers? Understanding the cultural forces at work could help professors develop culturally sensitive ways to minimise these unethical behaviours in their classrooms. “So when they graduate and work for companies they will better equipped to evaluate that situation.”Have something to add to the story?
