To explore the relation between dispositional traits and pharmacy students' attitudes toward cheating in a university setting.
A questionnaire was administered primarily to pharmacy students at a comprehensive university in the southeastern United States to assess self-esteem, self-efficacy, idealism, relativism, student attitudes toward cheating, tolerance for peer cheating, detachment from the university, Machiavellian behavior, and demographic information.
Gender, degree of idealism, relativism, and Machiavellian traits were found to influence student attitudes toward cheating, while age, grade-point average (GPA), race, income, and marital status did not.
Considered collectively, these data support the study model prediction that the major determinants of student attitudes toward cheating are based on the degree of idealism and relativism evident in the students' dispositional trait. Idealism was found to be inversely related to the likelihood of a student engaging in cheating or tolerating peer cheating.
探讨个体特质与大学生在大学环境中作弊态度的关系。
主要在美国东南部一所综合性大学向药学专业学生发放问卷,评估自尊、自我效能、理想主义、相对主义、学生对作弊的态度、对同学作弊的容忍度、与大学的疏远程度、马基雅维利行为以及人口统计学信息。
发现性别、理想主义程度、相对主义程度和马基雅维利特质影响学生对作弊的态度,而年龄、平均绩点(GPA)、种族、收入和婚姻状况则没有影响。
综合考虑这些数据,支持了研究模型的预测,即学生对作弊态度的主要决定因素基于学生性格中明显的理想主义和相对主义程度。理想主义与学生作弊或容忍同学作弊的可能性呈负相关。
