Using canonical correlation analysis (CCA), we investigated multivariate relationships among achievement goals, willingness to report academic dishonesty (AD), reasons for engaging in AD, and engagement in various AD behaviors. The sample included 431 Taiwanese university students. The CCA showed that, compared to others, students with a mastery approach or a performance approach/avoidance and greater willingness to report peers’ AD were less likely to report feeling incompetent as a reason for engaging in AD, but were more likely to report that they engaged in AD because of self-promotion and self-interest. The CCA also showed that students who had less of a mastery approach and greater tolerance of AD tended to engage in various types of AD.
