Subject: Cheating Questionaire: please respond.

The following is an informal questionaire on cheating.  It has not been
validated or tested in any way, I just wrote it this morning.  I will compile
the discriptive stats and redistribute then to PsycGrad as soon as I get around
to it.  Please be as honest as you can.  I will not reveal any personal data
in any form to anyone.  The data obtained will not be used for anything except
to satisfy my, and presumably your, curiosity about cheating.  Please send your
responses directly to me and NOT to PsycGrad or PsyGrd-D.  Try to get your
responses back to me by Wed, the 19th and I'll try to get the data back by the
21st.  Thank you very much for participating.
