Abstract

This study investigated plagiarism among Indonesian undergraduate students and examined whether self-control, knowledge of plagiarism, attitude towards plagiarism and perceived opportunity predict students' plagiarism. The sample consisted of 420 undergraduate students from a state university in Surabaya, Indonesia. The students completed questionnaires which collected information on demographics, plagiarism, self-control, knowledge of plagiarism, attitude towards plagiarism, and perceived opportunity. The results indicated that male students have a significantly higher self-reported plagiarism rate than female students. The mean of self-reported plagiarism varied across faculties and increased along with the length of study in the university. The students' self-reported plagiarism was predicted by a positive attitude towards plagiarism, limited knowledge of plagiarism, and low self-control. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for future research and university policies on plagiarism.
