“…According to our study’s findings, Romanian physicians demonstrate high adherence to the law and only consider a limited number of circumstances where it may be acceptable to breach legal regulations. This is particularly noteworthy given previous studies indicating that less rule-oriented individuals are more likely to engage in misconduct [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. People who are more likely to follow the law are likewise more likely to comply with it either because they have a moral drive toward law compliance or because they generally consider unacceptable law breaches [ 14 ].…”

“…This is in contrast to the original study’s findings, which suggested that older adults tend to be more rule-oriented than their younger counterparts [ 9 ]. However, other studies have suggested that individuals may become more inclined toward engaging in illegal behavior as they age [ 11 ]. Various factors, including differences in study design, sample size, and population characteristics, may contribute to these inconsistencies in the literature.…”

Validity and Reliability of Rule Orientation Scale among Romanian Physicians—A Pilot Study

et al. 2023

Background and Objectives: Legal compliance is influenced by several factors, including individuals’ attitudes about when breaking the law may be acceptable or justifiable. The rule orientation scale provides a measurement capable of predicting an individual’s offensive behavior, regardless of the legal punishment. The current research is the first that aims to evaluate the construct validity of the translated Romanian version of the rule orientation scale. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted online among Romanian physicians in Dolj County. A 12-item questionnaire previously validated in the United States was used for this study. Results: A total of 69 physicians responded to the survey with a mean age of 38.53 ± 8.28 and an average experience of 10.49 ± 8.27 years. Physicians were prone to adhere to the law and found only a few instances when legal breaches were acceptable. Nonetheless, they deemed it permissible to violate the law when they did not know its content. These attitudes were not affected by respondents’ ages, genders, numbers of years in practice, industries, or specialties. The internal consistency of the questionnaire was high (Cronbach’s α = 0.925). Conclusions: The rule orientation scale validated in the Romanian language can be used to determine conditions under which individuals find it acceptable to break the law.

<p style="text-align:justify">This article investigates artificial intelligence (AI) implementation in higher education (HE) from experts' perspectives. It emphasises the view of AI's involvement in administrative activities in higher education, experts' opinions concerning the influence of the incorporation of AI on learning and teaching, and experts' views on applying AI specifically to assessment, academic integrity, and ethical considerations. The study used a qualitative method based on an unstructured qualitative interview with open-ended questions. The participants were thirteen individuals currently involved with higher education institutions and had various talents related to AI and education. Findings stress that implementing AI technology in administrative roles within higher education institutions is essential since it cuts costs, addresses problems efficiently and effectively, and saves time. The findings also revealed that AI plays a vital role in learning and teaching by speeding up the learning process, engaging learners and tutors, and personalising learning depending on the learner's needs within an entirely intelligent environment. AI can produce an accurate, objective, and suitable level of assessment. AI aids students in developing a stronger sense of integrity in their academic work by guiding them through AI-powered applications. AI must adhere to ethical laws and policies, ensuring its potential negative aspects are not overlooked or left unchecked.</p>

“…Their findings underscore the pivotal role of peer influence: the higher the perceived prevalence of dishonesty within a peer group, the higher the individual propensity for such behaviours. Wang and Zhang (2022) conducted a literature review that examined the interplay between personality traits, attitudes towards norms, and academic dishonesty. They concluded that specific personality differences significantly forecast the likelihood of dishonest actions.…”

This research conducts a thorough review of academic integrity in teacher education, analysing the prevalence, reasons, and solutions for academic dishonesty. From an initial 693 articles in Web of Science and Scopus, 23 were selected based on strict criteria, revealing issues like plagiarism and cheating among aspiring teachers. The study points to academic pressure, skill shortages, and confusion about integrity principles as key factors driving dishonest behaviours. It stresses the importance of comprehensive strategies to combat this, including ethics education, the development of detection technologies, and cultivating a culture that prioritizes honesty. With the rise of AI, adapting integrity measures becomes crucial. Future research should focus on innovative methodologies, the effectiveness of ethics programs, and the impact of technology on maintaining academic standards, highlighting the educational community's responsibility to promote an honest environment, essential for the credibility of future educators.
