This research is a follow-up to a previous study measuring the observance of the ritually unclean period (Niddah) among Modern-Orthodox Jews. A total of 267 participants completed an online questionnaire comprised of a list of 16 "strict" and "lenient" forbidden behaviors. Participants reported whether they had engaged in these behaviors during Week 1 (the actual menstrual period) and during Week 2 (the "clean days" following the cessation of bleeding). Results showed that laws were being violated, with more transgressions during the second week than the first week. Additionally, more "lenient" laws were being broken than "strict" ones. Level of religious observance was significantly negatively correlated to the number of transgressions. However, there was no significant correlation between the number of transgressions and the age at marriage, sex, or how long one had been married.

“…The participants were instructed to rate, on a scale from 1 (very poor) to 6 (excellent), their religious observance of the following: eating kosher, Sabbath, daily prayers, and blessings on food. These items were taken from a previous religiosity scale (Rettinger & Jordan, 2005). In this study, the four items had a Cronbach's alpha of .78.…”

“…Ramzan, Siddique, Munir and Asif (2011) highlighted that most of the students plagiarize to get the right answers of their questions, ultimately to achieve high grades in their studies instead of getting expertise in their subjects of study. The desire to get good grades due to highly competitive environment has been reported as one of the primary motives to cheat (Chraif, 2015;McCabe, 2001;Rettinger& Jordan, 2005). Apart from that, peer pressures also have a strong effect on students' perception of the act of plagiarism (Ellahi, Mushtaq& Khan, 2013).…”

As the education world places countless emphasis on achievement and success, the issue of academic dishonesty particularly involving plagiarism has reached prevalent extents especially in the institutions of higher learning. Since this contemporary problem in higher education requires very urgent attention to curb, various factors were assessed for their influence on students' degree of plagiarism act. Therefore, this paper focuses on the extent of the business students' self-perceived plagiarism and factors contributing to the act. A total of 152 questionnaires were collected from final year students of four business degree programs in one of a public university in Malaysia. Findings revealed that negative attitude, followed by competence lacking were the major contributors of self-perceived plagiarism. Discussion and significance of the study are further discussed.

“…Additionally, the type of school students attend might also affect the possibility of cheating (Brown & Choong, 2003;Rettinger & Jordan, 2005;Smyth & Davis, 2003).…”

for their constant encouragement to work hard and finish. To Dr. Sally Kuhlenschmidt, for her very, very early guidance and continued support, and to Dr. John Bruni, who was always happy to answer questions and offer advice, I also give thanks. Both of you did much to support and encourage me without even being on my committee, and I will always remember you both for that. A unique study design enabled examination of these ideas. In this deception study, a convenience sample of participants in face-to-face and online general education courses consented to a study on testing formats in online learning. They answered 18 items querying background information, took a 10-question reading quiz over an original topic, and answered 49 items about attitudes toward cheating and cheating behaviors. To mimic the drive for a good grade and encourage participants to do their best, the researcher offered a chance at a $400 incentive to those who scored high on the quiz. On the quiz, participants could answer only 7 of the 10 open-ended questions using the vi materials provided: to answer the others, participants had to cheat by looking up the remaining 3 on the Internet. The questionnaire's final item asked them to report if they had used outside sources on the quiz to check the accuracy of self-reported cheating.While analysis via t-tests revealed no significant differences between face-to-face and online students in their attitudes toward learning, nor did Pearson's r reveal any significant associations between online students' background variables and cheating, the study did provide a rate of accuracy of self-reported cheating. Analysis of qualitative data gave insight into undergraduates' ideas on what cheating is, how students might cheat, what causes cheating, and how educators and administrators might work to prevent academic dishonesty.
