Osobine ličnosti i stavovi prema akademskom nepoštenju

U ovom istraživanju ispitana je povezanosti između osobina ličnosti,dobi i spola sa stavovima prema akademskom nepoštenju. Sudionici istraživanja bili su 103 učenika, tri odjela trećih i dva odjela četvrtih razreda gimnazije, raspona od 16 do 18 godina te je bilo 19 učenika i 84 učenica. Upotrijebljen je HEXACO-PI-(R) inventar ličnosti kojeg su osmislili Lee i Ashton, a mjeri šest dimenzija ličnosti. Te dimenzije su poštenje-poniznost, emocionalnost, ekstraverzija,ugodnost,savjesnost i otvorenost prema iskustvu. Stavovi prema akademskom nepoštenju mjereni su Upitnikom stavova o akademskom nepoštenju koji je konstruiran za potrebe ovog istraživanja. Pretpostavljeno je da će osobine ličnosti biti prediktori stavova prema varanju i da će postojati značajna korelacija između dobi i stava prema varanju. Provedena je analiza Upitnika stavova prema akademskom nepoštenju i izračunata pouzdanost upitnika. Korelirani su rezultati HEXACO-PI-(R) inventara ličnosti s rezultatima Upitnika stavova o akademskom nepoštenju i s podacima o dobi učenika, pomoću Spearmanovog koeficijenta korelacije. Povezanost spola učenika i rezultata Upitnika stavova o akademskom nepoštenju ispitana je point-biserijalnim koeficijentom korelacije. Rezultati su pokazali da su dimenzije ličnosti, savjesnost i poštenje-poniznost, kao i dob učenika značajno negativno povezane sa stavom prema varanju. Za ostale osobine ličnosti nije utvrđena značajna povezanost sa stavovima prema varanju.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
