Abstract	Business education scholarship has explored cheating behavior as a function of demographics, culture, personality, and other factors. Expanding current knowledge on the topic, the authors provide the first known empirical investigation of two negatively valenced psychosocial conditions--social loneliness and social isolation--in relation to students' decisions to (not) report their peers' cheating behaviors. Surveying 231 graduate business students from Europe and South Asia, the authors find that social loneliness gives impetus for students to report such behaviors, while social isolation provides inertia to not report them. The results offer fresh insights for faculty and administrators hoping to improve their understanding of academic dishonesty among business students. (As Provided).
