The influence of social environment. On the surface, cheating in exams is a campus phenomenon. However, after in-depth investigation, cheating in exams is a kind of social behavior, which is inextricably linked with unhealthy trends in society: fake and shoddy products are flooding the whole commodity market; Working by pulling connections, cases of government officials breaking the law, misappropriating and embezzling occur from time to time, and social organizations are looking for substitutes for various professional titles exams on university campuses. These phenomena have brought negative effects to young college students. The university stage is a crucial period for the formation of world outlook and values. College students at this stage are relatively simple in thinking about things, blindly optimistic and weak in self-control, and are easily influenced by the external objective environment.

Some students see that other students are easy to cheat in exams, especially their own good grades, so they let some students study harder than those who cheat in exams. These students felt that their exam results were unfair and their mentality was unbalanced, so they joined the team that cheated in the exam.

Trying to muddle through. Some students face dropping out of school after several semesters because of their poor learning attitude and foundation and weak grades. At this time, facing the pressure of family and future, they tried to cheat in the exam to escape punishment.

Vanity is at work. Some students usually perform well, some are backbone students, and some are scholarship winners over the years. They cheat in exams not to pass them, but to keep honors and awards, to get higher scores and to satisfy their vanity.
