| Sumario: | To gather results on the sensitivity of university students towards both self-committed and observed dishonest actions, a database was created based on the responses of 659 university students in Madrid. A set of questions are posed to evaluate ethical judgment surrounding the act of transitioning from thought to action, the severity of the act, and the degree of blame if executed by a third party. The study employed K-means cluster analysis, linear discriminant analysis, and correlation analysis on proportions. The results indicate that it is possible to classify individuals into different profiles based on the severity of their judgment and their tendency to commit dishonest actions, and the more individuals are likely to carry out dishonest actions, the more benevolently they judge those committed by others.
