Abstract

Academic fraud is a perennial problem, and the Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated it with most universities moving to online learning. We conducted a survey with 259 students from three universities about their perceptions of academic fraud in online learning. This article examines whether individual factors drawing from the dark triad of personality and three situational factors: academic integrity culture, academic fraud ambiguity, and pressure, influence the intention to engage in academic fraud. Using partial least square-structural equation modeling, the results show that academic integrity culture, pressure, and the dark triad of personality significantly affect students’ intention to engage in academic fraud. The implication of such findings is discussed.

摘要

学术造假是一个长期存在的问题，随着大多数大学转向在线学习，Covid-19 大流行加剧了这一问题。我们对来自三所大学的 259 名学生进行了一项调查，了解他们对在线学习中学术欺诈的看法。本文探讨了人格黑暗三人格中的个人因素和学术诚信文化、学术造假模糊性和压力这三个情境因素是否会影响学术造假的意图。利用偏最小二乘结构方程模型，结果表明，学术诚信文化、压力和黑暗人格显着影响学生从事学术造假的意图。讨论了这些发现的含义。
