Summary

Introduction

Academic cheating behavior is often encountered in every learning activity in schools, both elementary and tertiary levels. Nowadays we often encounter students committing academic fraud, including plagiarists taking other people's work arbitrarily, imitating other people's answers during tests / exams, and other activities that lead to negative characters. Academic cheating behavior is sometimes underestimated by some people, even ironically, lecturers let their students pass the exam. Almost all students know or have committed fraudulent behavior (Pujiati & Lestari, 2010). This behavior is wrong behavior but there is a tendency for it to be increasingly tolerated by our society and considered normal behavior for every student
