ŽALUD, Jakub
The presented bachelor thesis deals with the attitude of university students towards academic cheating. It focuses mainly on student´s attitudes and reasons for these attitudes. The theoretical part contains concepts related to academic cheating for better orientation in this issue. In the empirical part, the attitude of college students towards academic cheating has been investigated. The research group consisted of 6 respondents, currently studying at university. Research shows that respondent´s attitudes to academic cheating are frequently inhomogeneous. This may refer to a different personal experience, to the unacceptability of cheating based on generally valid school standards or to the various personalities of the respondents. Some consensus among respondents appears especially in situations that respondents tend to evaluate as more serious (theft, betrayal of trust or theft of intellectual property). Also, there is a tendency for respondents to react mildly towards academic cheating that is considered to be prevalent.
