摘要:In recent years, computer ethics has drawn increasing interest from practitioners as well as from academicians. Despite repeated calls in literature for cross-cultural research in this age of globalization, few studies have examined the ethical decision making tendencies of European IT students compared to American IT students. Using IT-related ethical dilemma scenarios, this article investigates the personal ethical decisions of American and European students and finds that significant differences exist in half of the scenarios. The study also finds significant differences in the rating of the ethicality of the scenarios with American students rating most scenarios as more unethical than their European counterparts.
