摘要

Student plagiarism presents a serious challenge for higher academic institutions globally. This issue is particularly prevalent in developing countries like Bangladesh, where a lack of ethical academic policies and limited awareness of plagiarism impede efforts to effectively combat academic misconduct. Against this backdrop, this paper investigates university students’ attitudes toward plagiarism and examines how demographic variables influence these attitudes in Bangladesh. Survey data were collected from 720 students across two universities using the 29-item Attitude Toward Plagiarism (ATP) scale. The findings revealed moderate levels of positive attitudes, negative attitudes, and subjective norms related to plagiarism in both universities. Gender, academic discipline, and English language proficiency significantly influenced students’ attitudes toward plagiarism within the universities. Ordinal regression analyses also identified significant relationships between these demographic variables and attitudes toward plagiarism.
