 OBJECTIVE:
To study the effect of various variable
leading to cause unethical behavior and the degree
of impact the variables make on the decision of an
individual.

NULL HYPOTHESIS:
1. Students avoiding responsibilities are the ones who
copy presentation from the internet.
2. Male students will show higher intentions to engage in
unethical behavior than female students.
3. More strict monitoring in conducting exams at times
induces more exam malpractices among students.

 MAJOR FINDINGS:
1. Copying presentation from internet has hardly anything to do with students not
taking up responsibilities since both are negatively related.
2. Male and female show quite similar willingness or unwillingness towards unethical
acts.
3. The level strictness followed in exam induces somewhat more malpractices among
students.
