TL;DR

In a cross-sectional survey of 120 undergraduate medical students at Universitas Lampung, academic procrastination was not significantly related to academic dishonesty (Gamma r = 0.464, p = 0.428). Most students reported low procrastination (95.83%) and moderate frequency of academic dishonesty (83.33%).

Key findings

  • No significant relationship was found between academic procrastination habits and academic dishonesty (r = 0.464; p = 0.428, p > 0.05), despite a positive correlation coefficient of moderate strength.
  • Procrastination levels: 115 respondents (95.83%) low, 5 respondents (4.17%) high.
  • Academic dishonesty frequency: 7 respondents (5.83%) low, 100 respondents (83.33%) moderate, 13 respondents (10.84%) high.
  • Cross-tabulation: of the 5 high-procrastination students, 1 (20%) was high and 4 (80%) moderate on dishonesty, 0 low; of the 115 low-procrastination students, 12 (10.4%) were high, 96 (83.5%) moderate, and 7 (6.1%) low on dishonesty.
  • The authors note the result contradicts prior studies (Rizki; Indah & Shofiah) that found a significant relationship, and suggest strict institutional sanctions and an ethics committee at FK UNILA may explain the moderate dishonesty levels.

Methods

  • Observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design, conducted October–November 2019 at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Lampung; population was 795 active medical education students, with 120 sampled via proportionate stratified random sampling (36 fourth-year, 33 third-year, 28 second-year, 23 first-year).
  • Data collected with the Procrastination Assessment Scale-Students (PASS) for procrastination and the Academic Practices Survey (APS) for academic dishonesty, both translated into Indonesian and validated: PASS retained items after removing 5 invalid items (r = 0.7; Cronbach's alpha 0.81); APS removed 3 then 2 invalid items (r = 0.7; Cronbach's alpha 0.744).
  • Variables were categorized (procrastination: low < 40, high ≥ 40; dishonesty: low < 32, moderate 32–52, high > 52 based on mean ± SD of 42 ± 10) and analyzed bivariately with the Gamma test for ordinal variables. Ethics approval no. 3495/UN26.18/PP.05.02.00/2019.

Limitations

  • Stated by the authors: the PASS and APS instruments were developed in 1984 and 1995 respectively and need modification/development to fit current educational contexts; they recommend future research examine other factors influencing procrastination or dishonesty.
  • Evident from the text: the cross-sectional design cannot establish causality or temporal ordering between procrastination and dishonesty; both measures rely on self-reported questionnaires, which are susceptible to social desirability bias; the sample comes from a single institution, limiting generalizability; and the highly skewed distribution (only 5 students in the high-procrastination category) leaves very few cases in key cells, which constrains the power of the Gamma analysis.

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.
