Abstract

Understanding youth attitudes towards corruption is crucial for designing effective prevention strategies. This paper presents a cross-disciplinary survey of Indonesian university students’ perceptions, beliefs, and ethical orientations regarding corruption. Using quantitative data collected from students across diverse academic faculties, the study examines factors influencing attitudes such as discipline, socio-economic background, and exposure to anti-corruption campaigns. Results indicate varying levels of tolerance and skepticism, with social science and law students generally demonstrating stronger anti-corruption attitudes compared to students in other fields. The study also explores correlations between ethical awareness and willingness to engage in anti-corruption behaviors. These findings inform educational and policy interventions aimed at fostering integrity among future leaders. The research adds to global scholarship by providing empirical insights into the complex landscape of youth attitudes toward corruption in a transitional democracy.
