TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of 1390 university students from five public Moldovan universities completed a survey reporting their experiences and beliefs with respect to 22 types of academic misconduct, and an interpretable five-factor solution to the frequencies of these behaviors accounted for more than half of the total variance.
Abstract: A total of 1390 university students from five public Moldovan universities completed a survey reporting their experiences and beliefs with respect to 22 types of academic misconduct. An interpretable five-factor solution to the frequencies of these behaviors accounted for more than half of the total variance. The two most reliable predictors were 1) how often students witnessed other students engage in these behaviors, and 2) perceived acceptability of the behaviors. Demographic predictors of these behaviors (gender, academic specialty, year in school, institution, grade average, and scholarship status) predicted minimal variance. Implications and limitations of the findings are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, Cristian Mungiu and Cristi Puiu analyze the new Romanian Cinema's dual position (apolitical yet engaged) and reflection on such aspects as religion, ideology and globalization; it emphasizes mechanisms of identity (transformation, the shaping of global citizenship and the shifts in public discourses, such as film, to continue to engage individuals and groups in social debate and events.
Abstract: Representations of the individual, family and collective groups within New Romanian Cinema reveal the nation’s social, political and psychological transformations, as well as its values and beliefs in times of intense transition. Focusing on Behind the Hills (Cristian Mungiu, 2012) and Sieranevada (Cristi Puiu, 2016), this article analyses the new cinema’s dual position (apolitical yet engaged) and reflection on such aspects as religion, ideology and globalization; it emphasizes mechanisms of identity (trans)formation, the shaping of global citizenship and the shifts in public discourses, such as film, to continue to engage individuals and groups in social debate and events.

TL;DR: In this article , a review of the literature quantitatively examined this perceived peer cheating effect and found that the behavior of peers plays an important role in students' academic cheating, suggesting that effective strategies to promote academic integrity will need to consider peer influences as well as the culture in which students are socialized.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present the results of a series of statistical analyses aimed at testing which variables were found to be predictors of students' self-reported formal outsourcing behaviours, including country and discipline of study as well as the rate at which respondents believed other students to be cheating, were positively correlated to their cheating behaviours.
Abstract: Prevalence of contract cheating and outsourcing through organised methods has received interest in research studies aiming to determine the most suitable strategies to reduce the problem. Few studies have presented an international approach or tested which variables could be correlated with contract cheating. As a result, strategies to reduce contract cheating may be founded on data from other countries, or demographics/situations which may not align to variables most strongly connected to engagement in outsourcing. This paper presents the results of a series of statistical analyses aimed at testing which variables were found to be predictors of students' self-reported formal outsourcing behaviours. The data are derived from an international research study conducted in 22 languages, with higher education students (from Europe, the Americas and Australasia. Analyses found that country and discipline of study as well as the rate at which respondents n = 7806) believed other students to be cheating, were positively correlated to their cheating behaviours. Demographic variables did not show strong statistical significance to predicting contract cheating.

Abstract: Neutralization Theory proposes that when people engage in behavior that they know is not approved by society, they neutralize, or justify, their behavior by applying one or more of several neutralization techniques In this report we use data from a study that investigated selfreported reasons for academic misconduct from post-secondary students in Romania. We found that students offered reasons that range widely, and well beyond the options included in Neutralization Theory. Factor analysis of the responses also lead to the conclusion that reasons for committing academic misconduct may be unidimensional.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors conducted a cross-sectional study among health-professions students at a university in the Middle East to assess perceptual differences on various cheating behaviors, as well as to explore the reasons underlying the cheating behavior.
Abstract: Abstract A high level of professional integrity is expected from healthcare professionals, and literature suggests a relationship between unethical behavior of healthcare professionals and poor academic integrity behavior at medical school. While academic integrity is well researched in western countries, it is not so in the Middle East, which is characterized by different cultural values that may influence students’ academic integrity conduct. We conducted a cross-sectional study among health-professions students at a university in the Middle East to assess perceptual differences on various cheating behaviors, as well as to explore the reasons underlying the cheating behavior. A validated survey instrument disseminated among first and second-year undergraduate students resulted in 211 complete responses and this data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearson’s Chi-square/ Fischer’s exact test was applied to test the association of various factors with academic misconduct. The major determinants of academic misconduct were investigated using Binary Logistic regression model. The conducted analysis and the results showed that preceding cheating behavior was the only factor significantly associated with cheating in the university (p < 0.001). No association was found between cheating behavior and age, college/major, awareness regarding academic integrity, or perception of faculty response. The reasons provided by students for cheating behavior were mainly academic workload and pressure to get a good grade. Various suggestions are made to enhance academic integrity among health-professions students including organizing workshops and events by the university to increase awareness and create an academic integrity culture, providing peer guidance as well as emotional and social support.
