Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Academic Integrity
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Academic misconduct poses a significant challenge in higher education, particularly within health sciences.
  • Understanding the factors influencing student perceptions of academic dishonesty is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies.
  • Maslow's Need-Goal Motivation Model provides a framework for exploring student behavior and motivations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the correlation between specific independent variables and perceived academic misconduct among nursing students.
  • To examine the relationship between nursing students' perceptions of peer maturity, academic commitment, and neutralizing attitudes with academic misconduct.
  • To apply Maslow's Need-Goal Motivation Model to understand the underlying factors of academic dishonesty in nursing education.

Main Methods:

  • Correlational research design was employed.
  • Data were collected on nursing students' perceptions of peer maturity, academic commitment, neutralizing attitudes, and academic misconduct.
  • Statistical analysis, including calculation of Function I Rc², was used to determine the degree of correlation.

Main Results:

  • A moderately high degree of correlation was found among the studied variables (Function I Rc² = 0.325; p < .001).
  • Perceptions of peer maturity, academic commitment, and neutralizing attitudes were significantly associated with perceived academic misconduct.
  • The findings support the postulated relationships within the framework of Maslow's Need-Goal Motivation Model.

Conclusions:

  • Perceptions of peer characteristics significantly correlate with perceived academic misconduct in nursing students.
  • Interventions aimed at fostering academic integrity may benefit from addressing student perceptions of peer behavior and motivation.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the nuances of these relationships and develop targeted educational strategies.
