Abstract

Extensive scholastic dishonesty was found in two large Southern universities, although not to the same extent in each. This contrast raised the question of whether the observed differences in frequency were due to different personal background characteristics of the 8tudents at the two universities, or to the different forms of social control in use at the two institutions. This investigation indicates that both types of characteristics may be related to deviation, but that social control, or collectivity characteristics are more closely associated with deviation and better explain thte differences found than personal background, or member characteristics.
