Research suggests that individuals' attitudes towards cheating are influenced by their perceptions of their friends' behaviors. Studies have shown a correlation between people's cheating attitudes and the faithfulness of their friends. If individuals believe that their friends condone cheating, they are more likely to engage in infidelity, assuming it is socially acceptable. Pluralistic ignorance can lead people to overestimate the prevalence and acceptability of cheating, potentially influencing them to conform to false norms.
