Abstract

<p><em>The modern psychological literature presents several approaches to measuring ethical attitudes in young people. This indicates the prospects for the development of measurement tests and the accumulation of empirical data on their application. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the results of a test measuring students’ attitudes toward unethical academic behavior. This test is the first stage in creating a set of measurements that will allow us to record changes in attitudes toward ethical standards, assess the ability to ethically reason, and predict the likelihood of ethically risky behavior. Based on existing experience, a 40-question test has been developed to measure student unethical academic behavior (UAB). The study received questionnaires from 184 respondents (age range: 18 to 24 years). Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, discriminativity index, and analysis of medial values were used to process and analyze the data. Testing of the questionnaire showed its validity (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for 37 questions was 0.8) and allowed for post-hoc analysis.</em></p>
