Abstract
The phenomenon of academic cheating or academic dishonesty in higher education remains a serious challenge worldwide, including in Indonesian higher education institutions, with a relatively high prevalence among students that can threaten the integrity and credibility of the respective institutions. This study aims to identify the academic dishonesty profile among Psychology students at University X. The subjects of this study were 705 Psychology students from University X's 2023 and 2024 cohorts. The Academic Dishonesty Scale instrument by (Pradia & Dewi, 2021) was utilized after initial modification and then distributed via G-form. This study employed a quantitative approach, with data analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the frequency of each level of academic dishonesty among students. The analysis results show that 13.5% (95 students) were categorized as having high academic dishonesty, 71.6% (approximately 505 students) as moderate, and 14.9% (105 students) as low, indicating the common occurrence of this behavior. These research findings are expected to provide practical contributions by offering an empirical basis for relevant institutions to design effective academic dishonesty prevention.

Subjek pada penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa fakultas Psikologi di Univeristas X angkatan 2023 dan 2024 yang berjumlah sebanyak 705 mahasiswa. Instrumen Skala Academic Dishonesty oleh (Pradia & Dewi, 2021), digunakan setelah melalui proses modifikasi terlebih dahulu dan kemudian disebarkan melalui g-form.
