Academically dishonest behavior, or cheating, has been a continued problem in post-secondary institutions. Research has been varied in terms of understanding the root causes of academically dishonest behaviors and has offered ways in which to mitigate the behaviors by educating students and holding them accountable to institutional expectations. This study considers the use of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as a theoretical model to predict academic dishonesty. Originally described by Ajzen and Fishbein (1980) and later expounded upon by Ajzen (1991), the TPB considers several factors in determining intent to engage in behavior, including perceived social norms, and attitudes towards the behavior in question. As practitioners, we are called upon to appropriately address the problem of academic dishonesty both inside and outside of the classroom; however, devising interventions that work is hampered given that the body of research into the reasons behind cheating does not provide conclusive answers to understanding the root problem, much less how to best remediate cheating behavior, as no predictive model exists. Using an adaptation of the Attitude Towards Plagiarism (ATP) Questionnaire (Mavrinac et al., 2010), a sample of students were surveyed at Frostburg State University to better understand their subjective norms and attitudes regarding plagiarism and whether they had knowingly cheated in the previous calendar year. The study found that student subjective norms shaped positive or negative attitudes towards cheating. Students with positive attitudes towards cheating were more apt to cheat. Gender did not offer any significant predictive capacity for cheating, although results suggest that men generally have fewer negative attitudes towards plagiarism than women do; however, total effect for gender was minimal. Implications for practice, including the implementation of a campus honor code, are also discussed. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
