| Abstract: | Although academic cheating has been found to be a common phenomenon in high schools, few studies investigate how peers influence
individual cheating behavior among high school students. In this paper, we estimate the cross-gender and intra-gender interaction
effects on academic cheating among high school students in Taiwan. We detect the evidence of male–male and female–female peer
interactions on academic cheating. The female–female interaction effect is stronger than the male–male interaction effect.
These results imply girls are more influenced by female peers on academic cheating. The cross-gender interactions (male to
female, female to male interactions) are not significant. Whereas, we find that all of the social interaction coefficients
become insignificant when this model allows for school-specific fixed effects. |
