A social-cognitive approach to online game cheating
The results support a social cognitive model of game cheating behavior. Online game cheating behavior is influenced by external and self-generated factors. Social environment, attitude and outcome evaluation influence cheating behavior. Cheating self-efficacy does not affect the behavior of game cheating. There is dynamic interplay among personal factors, social environment and behavior.
