RIO, Adhara; DURAN, Mar; FERRACES, María José  and  RODRIGUEZ, Mauro. Key variables for effective intervention in academic dishonesty. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.2, pp.356-366.  Epub Dec 01, 2019. ISSN 1688-4094.  https://doi.org/10.22235/cp.v13i2.1892.

The fundamental objective of this paper is to explore the importance of positive and negative emotions and past behaviour on the intention to engage in dishonest academic behaviour beyond the explanation given by the Theory of Planned Behaviour. We used a final sample of 262 students from the University of Santiago de Compostela, aged between 18 and 26 years. The results show that the variables added significantly increase the model's explanatory capacity (ΔR² = 22%). This, along with the relationship between the variables with behavioural intention [positive emotions (β=.10), past behaviour (β = .51)], is what allows these variables to acquire explanatory relevance in the model and provides us with the tools necessary to intervene in and help improve the academic training of our young people

Keywords : emotions; past behaviour; theory of planned bahaviour; intention; academic dishrakovskyonesty.
