The Determinants of Academic Dishonesty in College Student

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of moral disengagement (professor and student), perceived opportunity, culture (collectivism-individualism), and religiosity (organizational religiosity, non-organizational religiosity, and intrinsic religiosity) on academic dishonesty in college student. The data was collected from 515 undergraduate students of the state college in Java, by nonprobability sampling technique. The data analysis used multivariate regression analysis. The result indicated that the model was saturated. Moral disengagement student predicted all of the dependent variables. Further, moral disengagement professor only significantly predicted cheating and facilitating academic dishonesty. Meanwhile perceived opportunity and collectivism predicted cheating, and non-organizational religiosity predicted fabrication. Future research is needed to determine the other factors which influence academic dishonesty and use other a regression model.

What Is the Role of Religious Commitment between an Extrovert Personality and Moral Disengagement through Prosocial/Antisocial Behaviours and Moral Identity? An Investigation on Student-Athletes

“…Furthermore, the influence of moral disengagement on bullying and cyberbullying has been examined, emphasising the interaction of moral disengagement with psychopathic traits in predicting bullying behaviours among adolescents (Orue and Calvete 2016). Furthermore, the influence of religiosity on moral disengagement in the perpetration of incivility and academic dishonesty has been examined, providing insights into the potential impact of religious beliefs on moral disengagement tendencies and unethical behaviours (Sunawan et al 2023;Firdaus and Solicha 2018).…”
