Neutralizing Attitudes
This table is from one of my journals that shows the the types of situations that students may find themselves in. The study is to determine what students will agree is a good enough reason to cheat which is called in this article the Neutralizing effect. One of the neutralizing effects that is the most influential is if the Professor seems to not care whether the students learn the material, or whether or not the instructor acts as if he is the only class that students have to worry about. This neutralizing statements offer a window into why students either feel the need to cheat or how they rationalize it at the end of the day.
