The purpose of this study was to investigate factors contributing to college students’ attitudes towards plagiarism. This study tested a hypothesized model that students’ self-esteem, usage of eBooks, working hours, and understanding of plagiarism policy predicted their subjective norm to plagiarize (SNP), which in turn, ultimately predicted their positive (PAP) and negative attitudes towards plagiarism (NAP). The study also examined if students’ demographic characteristics influenced their attitude towards plagiarism. Data collected in an online survey from 90 college students were analyzed using path analysis in AMOS. Results suggested that students who do not understand university plagiarism policy and use eBooks are more likely to plagiarize. The path model achieved the best fit when the paths from eBook usage and understanding of plagiarism policy were indirectly specified to PAP through SNP. The current study contributes to the body of knowledge on the factors that affect students’ attitudes towards plagiarism. This study's findings would enable faculty, policymakers, and college administrators to understand the factors that affect students’ attitude towards plagiarism and formulate and implement appropriate strategies to deter students from plagiarizing.

这项研究的目的是调查造成大学生towards窃态度的因素。这项研究测试了一个假设的模型，该模型表明学生的自尊，使用电子书，工作时间以及对policy窃政策的理解可以预测他们的窃主观规范（SNP），从而最终预测出他们对towards窃的积极态度（PAP）和消极态度窃（NAP）。该研究还检查了学生的人口统计学特征是否影响了他们对窃的态度。在AMOS中使用路径分析法分析了从在线调查中收集的来自90位大学生的数据。结果表明，不了解大学窃政策并使用电子书的学生更有可能窃。当通过SNP将电子书使用和and窃政策的理解路径间接指定给PAP时，路径模型最适合。当前的研究有助于影响学生对窃态度的因素的知识体系。这项研究的发现将使教师，政策制定者和大学管理者能够了解影响学生对窃态度的因素，并制定和实施适当的策略来阻止学生进行窃。
