This document discusses the authors’ research into academic cheating’s relationship to executive functioning problems, such as inattention , hyperactivity, and depression, using the Behavior Assessment System for Children, second edition (BASC-2).
In this paper, the authors examine the relationships of executive functioning problems (EFP) to academic cheating in a sample of 855 adolescents. Participants completed assessments of inattention, hyperactivity, and depression using the BASC-2, as well as peer-reports of externalizing behavior. After controlling for known predictors of cheating such as demographics and depression, multiple regression analyses indicated that inattention emerged as a predictor of greater cheating behaviors. The authors also found that the positive relation between inattention and cheating was mediated by hyperactivity. Publisher Abstract Provided
