Understanding the Interplay Among Regulatory Self-Efficacy, Moral Disengagement, and Academic Cheating Behaviour During Vocational Education: A Three-Wave Study
Open accessAbstract
The literature has suggested that to understand the diffusion of unethical conduct in the workplace, it is important to investigate the underlying processes sustaining engagement in misbehaviour and to study what occurs during vocational education. Drawing on social-cognitive theory, in this study, we longitudinally examined the role of two opposite dimensions of the self-regulatory moral system, regulatory self-efficacy and moral disengagement, in influencing academic cheating behaviour. In addition, in line with the theories highlighting the bidirectional relationship between cognitive processes and behaviour, we aimed to also examine the reciprocal influence of behaviour on these dimensions over time. Overall, no previous studies have examined the longitudinal interplay between these variables. The sample included 866 (62.8% female) nursing students who were assessed three times annually from the beginning of their vocational education. The findings from a cross-lagged model confirmed that regulatory self-efficacy and moral disengagement have opposite influences on cheating behaviour, that regulatory self-efficacy negatively influences not only the engagement in misconduct but also the justification mechanisms that allow the divorce between moral standards and action, and that moral disengagement and cheating behaviour reciprocally support each other over time. Specifically, not only did moral disengagement influence cheating behaviour even when controlling for its prior levels, but also cheating behaviour affected moral disengagement one year later, controlling for its prior levels. These findings suggest that recourse to wrongdoing could gradually lead to further normalising this kind of behaviour and morally desensitising individuals to misconduct.

TL;DR
In a three-wave study of nursing students, regulatory self-efficacy and moral disengagement had opposite longitudinal effects on academic cheating, and cheating reciprocally reinforced moral disengagement but did not weaken regulatory self-efficacy. The findings support a vicious cycle between cheating and moral disengagement and a protective role for regulatory self-efficacy.
Key findings
- Regulatory self-efficacy at T1 and T2 negatively influenced cheating one year later, while moral disengagement at T1 and T2 positively influenced cheating one year later.
- Cheating at T2 positively influenced moral disengagement at T3, controlling for prior moral disengagement and regulatory self-efficacy; the indirect effect MD(T1) → cheating(T2) → MD(T3) was .108, 95% CI [.032, .205].
- Cheating at T2 did not influence regulatory self-efficacy at T3; the indirect effect R-SE(T1) → cheating(T2) → R-SE(T3) was .017, 95% CI [−.012, .066].
- Regulatory self-efficacy at T1 negatively influenced moral disengagement at T2, but not from T2 to T3; the indirect effect R-SE(T1) → cheating(T2) → MD(T3) was −.043, 95% CI [−.093, −.003]. The model explained 38% of MD, 26% of cheating, and 35% of R-SE at T2, and 40% of MD, 37% of cheating, and 32% of R-SE at T3.
Methods
- Three-wave longitudinal study of nursing students in 18 schools, beginning in 2011: 866 students at T1 (62.8% female, M age = 21.8, SD = 4.7), 530 at T2, and 505 at T3.
- Regulatory self-efficacy was measured with 4 items adapted from Bandura et al. (2001); moral disengagement with 12 items from the academic MD scale by Farnese et al. (2011); cheating behaviour with 5 items at T2 and T3 only. All used five-point response scales.
- Latent cross-lagged structural equation modelling in Mplus 7.4, with measurement invariance testing, FIML for missing data, gender and T1 age as covariates, and bootstrapped indirect effects based on 5,000 replications. ICCs ranged from .002 to .070, so multilevel modelling was not used.
Limitations
- The paper states that future research should integrate social and contextual variables such as peers, lecturers, supervisors, culture, and norms; use multi-method and multi-informant approaches; examine honour codes and sanction systems; and follow students into the labour market.
- The paper states that cheating behaviour was collected only at T2 and T3, not T1, so it could not examine whether MD and R-SE sustain cheating over time; it also relies exclusively on self-reported measures.
- Evident from the text: attrition was substantial (42.5% from T1 to T2, 27.1% from T2 to T3, and 46.9% from T1 to T3), with dropouts more likely to be male and older and slightly lower in T1 regulatory self-efficacy; the sample is nursing students, which may limit generalisation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
