Abstract

Academic integrity has not been widely studied in Latin America. This chapter gives a brief account of the most recent studies, and then presents a recent contribution by the authors to the literature. They undertook a quantitative, exploratory, non-experiential study with a sample of 1008 undergraduate students from four private universities from Chile, Colombia and Mexico. The study was established around two thought-based ethical notions: akrasia, and the principle of alternate possibilities. Despite popular belief, Latin American students are not born culturally programmed to cheat, so it is necessary to understand why they do it, what can lead them to report academic misconduct, and how academic integrity relates to professional performance in the workplace and to the civic culture in the region.
