Europeans make heist movies about stealing lots of money. Asians make heist movies about ... organized test cheating. :p http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6788942/ …pic.twitter.com/Mz48Cic52n

How would you parse out cheating from other dishonest or criminal activity if we are talking about predisposition to antisocial behaviors? I would argue cultural on this one. HUGE organized cheating systems rampant in China, especially for things like TOEFL exams to study in US
It's a difficult question. I would look at cheating per capita by generation of Asians in the USA. I.e. local vs. foreign born, 1st vs. 2nd etc. generation. Also admixture analysis would reveal genetic effect, but hard to get data for (rare event).

The best cheaters don't get caught and may not admit it. Also I think the best analogy for cheating within high-status Chinese student cohorts would be doping in elite athletics. The pressure to win is so high and others are cheating so you are in someways just keeping up

I was thinking anonymous internet surveys self-reported cheating. Not sure about what the reporting bias would be, but what else do you want to do if you cannot get official data? We could try running a study on MTurk to see.

You would have to very clearly define cheating as in exact scenarios. Academic only? I can imagine cross-cultural differences in what qualifies as serious or minor infractions. Also would make more sense to limit sample population...say college seniors
