Student Interviews on Academic Dishonesty and Pressure in Sweden

Qualitative interview transcripts with university students in Sweden who were formally sanctioned for academic dishonesty. The data, authored by Anna Kremel, is a 103.7 KB DOCX file last updated in April 2026. It explores student reflections on pressure as a driving factor for dishonest behavior.

Use Cases

• Thematic analysis of student narratives based on the described pressure themes of Wellbeing, Academic Success, and Tradition.
• Developing conceptual frameworks for institutional policy based on the typology of Internal, External Academic, and External Non-Academic pressures.
• Comparative qualitative research on academic integrity based on first-hand accounts from sanctioned students.

Strengths

• Data is based on first-person qualitative interviews, providing direct student reflections.
• The analysis offers a structured typology of pressure sources (Internal, External Academic, External Non-Academic).
• The dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 103.7 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The data reflects a specific context from a single Swedish university, which may limit generalizability.
