Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents the outcomes of an online coin-tossing experiment evaluating cheating behavior among Ukrainian students. Over 1,500 participants were asked to make ten coin tosses and were randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups tossing coins (1) online, (2) manually, or (3) having the choice between tossing manually or online. The study outcomes suggest that students are more inclined to cheat when they perceive the coin toss to be more “private.” Moreover, the students’ attitudes toward corruption appear to matter for the extent of their cheating, while socio-demographic characteristics were less important.

在线实验中的感知匿名和作弊

摘要本文介绍了一项在线掷硬币实验的结果，该实验评估了乌克兰学生的作弊行为。1500多名参与者被要求投掷10枚硬币，并被随机分配到三个投掷硬币的治疗组之一（1）在线投掷，（2）手动投掷，或（3）在手动或在线投掷之间做出选择。研究结果表明，当学生认为掷硬币更“私人”时，他们更倾向于作弊。此外，学生对腐败的态度似乎对他们作弊的程度很重要，而社会人口特征则不那么重要。
