• Gender differences
• Bogus pipeline
• Academic cheating
• Infidelity
• Extradyadic behavior

A bogus pipeline procedure was used to examine whether gender and testing condition influenced 474 college students' reports of cheating behaviors. Participants were assigned to an anonymous condition, a condition in which they believed that a peer would be handling their completed questionnaires, or one in which they thought they were being monitored by a lie detector. For romantic cheating, gender differences were diminished when participants believed their responses were being monitored by a lie detector, whereas academic cheating did not show this interaction between gender and condition. Hyper-gender ideology and perception of same-sex friends' cheating variables were less likely to predict cheating in the pipeline condition than in the other conditions, suggesting that social roles influenced reports of sensitive behaviors unless there was pressure to be honest.
