Thanks to WebMD for this intriguing piece on why people cheat. David Callahan, author of The Cheating Culture: Why More Americans Are Doing Wrong to Get Ahead, tells WebMD that while it’s hard to document, he thinks cheating is more common now than it has been. Donald McCabe, professor of management and global business at Rutgers Business School and founding president of the Center for Academic Integrity, says his own surveys of college students suggest a 30%-35% increase in some types of cheating during the 1990s. The experts quoted here don’t tell us why our tennis partner insists that our serve was out when we clearly saw otherwise, but they do offer a few insights into the kind of person who is likely to see things the way they want to see them. Most people cheat, the experts say, not because they want to win, but because they are terrified of losing. What can we do about it? The experts have no advice, but we do: You can cheat back, or you can just get mad and beat the pants off them.
