Abstract
Academic dishonesty is a serious problem in school institutions, as it damages the reputation of educational institutions. Furthermore, it has been linked to dishonest acts in the workplace and has a high prevalence. However, previous studies have focused on investigating dishonest behaviors already known in the literature, and do not usually report new dishonest behaviors. For this reason, this qualitative and quantitative exploratory study sought to identify new dishonest behaviors and report the prevalence of school cheating in a sample of Mexican students. To do this, 266 questionnaires were applied that included Likert-type items and open-ended questions. A high perceived prevalence and 31 behaviors little mentioned in the literature were found, of which 11 are not mentioned in the reviewed literature. These behaviors include digital dishonesty and teacher manipulation. It is recommended that future research take into account these new dishonest behaviors.
