Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between personality traits, age and gender with attitudes toward academic dishonesty. Study participants comprised 103 third and fourth grade high school students between the age of 16 and 18 and there were 19 male and 84 female students.The study uses the HEXACO-PI (R) personality inventory designed by Lee and Ashton which measures six dimensions of personality, such as honesty- humility, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience. Attitudes toward cheating were measured with the Questionnaire of attitudes toward academic dishonesty that was designed for the purpose of this is study. It was assumed that the personality traits will be predictors of attitudes toward cheating and that we will also get a significant correlation between age and attitudes toward cheating. An analysis of the Questionnaire of attitudes toward academic dishonesty was conducted and its reliability was calculated. The results of HEXACO-PI (R) inventory were correlated with the results of the Questionnaire of attitudes toward academic dishonesty as well as with the age and gender of students ,using the Spearman correlation coefficient.The relationship between the students' gender and the results of the Questionnaire of attitudes toward academic dishonesty was tested using the point-biserial correlation coefficient.The results showed that the dimensions of personality, conscientiousness and honesty-humility, and also the age of the students were significantly negatively correlated with the attitudes toward academic dishonesty. As for other traits, no significant correlation was found.
