- Abstract
We examine the relationships of executive functioning problems (EFP) to academic cheating in a sample of 855 adolescents. Participants completed assessments of inattention, hyperactivity, and depression using the BASC‐2, as well as peer‐reports of externalizing behavior. After controlling for known predictors of cheating (e.g., demographics and depression), multiple regression analyses indicated that inattention emerged as a predictor of greater cheating behaviors (R2 = 0.20). We also found that the positive relation between inattention and cheating was mediated by hyperactivity. Keypoints: Adolescents who experience difficulties with paying attention are more likely to engage in academic cheating.Heightened inattention is related to increased hyperactivity, which also is related to subsequent increased cheating.
