Jacqueline Strowd successfully completed her master’s project and is now working on her dissertation proposal. Jacq’s master’s project examined a number of personality traits with either theoretical or empirical significance as possible predictors of academic dishonesty among college students. While most of the predictors she examined were positively related to academic dishonesty, psychopathic and Machiavellian personality traits were the only significant predictors in her regression model. Her secondary analyses identified one component of psychopathy and another of Machiavellianism that accounted for most of these relationships.

Jacq did a great job with her master’s project, and is planning to continue this line of research in her dissertation. Congratulations on finishing this project and moving on to the next step!
