Abstract
Recent research has identified a variety of significant predictors of academic dishonesty, but virtually no studies have examined the conditional relation of binge drinking and students' cheating. Using a survey sample of 289 college students, this study tested the mediating relations of binge drinking with the correlation of independent variables—including opportunity, strain, and self-control—on self-reported academic dishonesty. Low self-control had a stronger correlation with students' cheating behaviors for those who were heavy binge drinkers (β ! –.52) than for students who were nonbingers (β = –.38). Differential relations were found for other key variables, namely, opportunity and strain, at varying severities of binge drinking.
