摘要：The purpose of the study was to develop a scale measuring academic dishonestyof undergraduate students. The sample of the study constitutes nine hundredundergraduate students selected via random sampling technique. After receivingexpert’s opinions for the face and content validity of the scale, the exploratoryfactor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were applied. EFAfavored a six factor structure viz: cheating in examination; plagiarism; outsidehelp; prior cheating; falsification and lying about academic assignments.Moreover, the findings obtained from the CFA showed that the structure consistingof 23 items and the six factors associated to academic dishonesty scale (ADS) hadadequate consistency indices. The internal consistency indices, alpha coefficient(α=.831) is adequate for the academic dishonesty scale (ADS). Results from thestudy confirmed multidimensionality and robust psychometric properties ofacademic dishonesty scale.
