Plagiarism is a problematic issue in universities across the globe (Curtis & Vardanega, 2016). This study explored the relationship between negative emotionality and positive attitudes toward plagiarism through the mediation of academic self-efficacy and self-control. Negative emotionality was examined as three components: stress, anxiety, and depression. Self-report surveys were completed by 454 university students to investigate the relationship between negative emotionality and positive attitudes toward plagiarism, as well as the mediating role of academic self-efficacy and self-control in this relationship. The hierarchical multiple regression found that negative emotionality significantly predicted positive attitudes toward plagiarism over and above age and gender (i.e., where male students and younger students were more likely to plagiarise). Furthermore, three mediation analyses showed that academic self-efficacy and self-control mediate the relationship between positive attitudes toward plagiarism and each component of negative emotionality. Considering these results, subsequent research should investigate whether implementing strategies that alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression could increase academic self-efficacy and self-control, which in turn, could then reduce positive attitudes toward plagiarism.

自我效能和自我控制在消极情绪与抄袭态度之间的中介作用

剽窃是全球大学中的一个问题(Curtis & Vardanega,2016)。本研究通过学业自我效能感和自我控制的中介,探讨消极情绪与积极抄袭态度之间的关系。消极情绪被检查为三个组成部分:压力、焦虑和抑郁。由454名大学生完成的自我报告调查旨在调查消极情绪与积极抄袭态度之间的关系,以及学业自我效能感和自我控制在这种关系中的中介作用。分层多元回归发现,负面情绪显着预测了超越年龄和性别的对抄袭的积极态度(即,男学生和低年级学生更容易抄袭)。此外,三个中介分析表明,学业自我效能感和自我控制在对抄袭的积极态度与消极情绪的各个组成部分之间起到中介作用。考虑到这些结果,后续的研究应该调查实施缓解压力、焦虑和抑郁的策略是否可以提高学业自我效能和自我控制,进而减少对抄袭的积极态度。
