Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools has reshaped learning practices across non-engineering disciplines, including the social sciences, business, humanities, education, and law. While these technologies offer clear pedagogical benefits, they also raise growing concerns regarding academic integrity, particularly in writing-intensive fields. This study examines the psychological factors that promote honest academic behavior among Indonesian non-engineering students, drawing on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as its theoretical foundation. A total of 375 undergraduate students from universities across Indonesia completed a structured online survey comprising 35 Likert-scale items measuring attitude toward honest behavior (ATB), subjective norms (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC), behavioral intention (BI), and actual honest behavior (AB). Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS to evaluate construct reliability, validity, and hypothesized relationships. The results demonstrate that ATB, SN, and PBC significantly influence BI, collectively accounting for 52% of its variance. Behavioral intention emerged as the strongest predictor of actual honest behavior (? = 0.61, p < .001), while perceived behavioral control also showed a modest but significant direct effect (? = 0.12, p = .028), together explaining 48% of the variance in AB. Bootstrapping analysis further confirmed the mediating role of behavioral intention in all antecedent–behavior pathways. These findings extend the application of the Theory of Planned Behavior to AI-enhanced learning environments in non-engineering disciplines and underscore the role of ethical attitudes, social influence, and perceived competence in maintaining academic integrity. The study provides practical insights for higher education institutions in developing responsible AI-use policies tailored to non-engineering students.

Abstract

This study investigates why Indonesian male university students choose to remain honest in their academic work despite the growing availability of AI-based tools that can be misused for cheating. Drawing on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), the research examines how attitude toward honest behavior (ATB), subjective norms (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC), behavioral intention (BI), and actual honest behavior (AB) are interrelated. Data were collected through an online survey of 350 male undergraduate students across Indonesia who had experience using generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, QuillBot, or Perplexity. The measurement and structural models were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS. Results show that all TPB paths are statistically significant: positive attitudes, supportive social expectations, and strong perceived behavioral control each contribute meaningfully to students’ intentions to act honestly, and these intentions, in turn, strongly predict actual honest behavior. The model demonstrated excellent fit (CFI = .992, RMSEA = .017, CMIN/DF = 1.095), indicating that the proposed framework robustly explains honest academic conduct in this context. Beyond psychological determinants, the findings suggest that Indonesian cultural values—such as jujur (honesty), amanah (trustworthiness), tanggung jawab (responsibility), and malu (sense of shame)—reinforce students’ motivation to uphold integrity, even when AI-enabled shortcuts are convenient and difficult to detect. The study extends TPB applications by shifting the focus from explaining cheating to understanding the drivers of honesty and offers practical implications for designing integrity policies, educational programs, and AI-related guidelines that are both ethically grounded and culturally responsive.
