Abstract

The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between personality traits and implicit motives with attitudes towarads dishonest behavior and counterproductive academic behavior. The study was conducted on convenience sample of students at the University of Zagreb (N = 126). All participants filled in the Counterproductive Academic Behavior Questionnaire, the Scale of Attitudes Towards Dishonest Behavior, the Conditional Reasoning Test for Aggression (CRT-A), IPIP-50 and the Short Dark Triad personality questionnaires, and General Data Questionnaire. Machiavellianism, psychopathy, implicit aggression and low conscientiousness showed significant correlation with positive attitudes toward dishonesty. Psychopathy and low scores on conscientiousness, emotional stability and intelect correlated positively with counterproductive academic behavior. Regression analysis with counterproductive academic behavior as the criteria showed that only personality traits within the IPIP-50 questionnaire significantly improve the prediction of such behavior. Attitudes towards dishonest behavior do not mediate the relationship between personality traits and counterproductive academic behavior.
