Description
Three studies used self-report measures to examine predictors of dishonesty across the personal and the academic domains of college students' lives. Dominance analysis methods (Azen & Budescu, 2003) determined the relative importance of predictors from a range of variables. High levels of predictability were found to be the result of a small set of dominant variables: dishonesty in the other domain, the impression management subscale of Paulhus's (1988) Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding, and partying. This replicated pattern of results adds to a growing body of work that indicates dishonesty is related across domains. This behavioral consistency in our college student samples is discussed in terms of the substantive nature of the Paulhus (1988) scale and social-cognitive approaches to personality. **********
