Abstract

Cheating occurs in all arenas of human behavior, and it manifests as academic cheating in college students. Academic cheating can include cheating on exams, plagiarism, and falsifying data in scientific studies. Cheating during college years can also involve improper behavior in university organizations and such traits as chronic absenteeism. The habits of cheating that occur during the college years can become established and be seen throughout a person’s life in areas such as the workplace or in personal relationships. An individual’s personality traits can influence the likelihood of cheating. However, as humans mature, they also develop a moral identity that can moderate the effects of personality traits. Our study was conducted to find the effects of personality traits on cheating behavior among college students and to see if moral identity acts as a moderator. Participants were 196 college students from the University of Indonesia. This study used the Mini-IPIP to measure personality traits, the Moral Identity Questionnaire (MIQ) to measure moral identity, and the Matrix Task to measure cheating behavior. The results showed that there was a positive relationship between conscientiousness and cheating behavior (r = 0.124; p < 0.05), and moral identity significantly moderated this relationship.
