El papel de la Tríada Oscura en la procrastinación académica y la deshonestidad académica
Open accessAbstract
Este estudio investigó las relaciones entre la Tríada Oscura (maquiavelismo, narcisismo subclínico y psicopatía subclínica) y la procrastinación y deshonestidad académicas. Doscientos diez estudiantes universitarios españoles, con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 58 años, completaron las escalas Dirty Dozen, Academic Procrastination Scale-Short Form y una escala ad-hoc para evaluar la frecuencia de comportamientos académicos deshonestos. Se realizaron análisis de regresión jerárquica, controlando la edad y el sexo, se encontró que el maquiavelismo y el bajo narcisismo son predictores significativos de la procrastinación académica, mientras que el maquiavelismo es el único predictor significativo de la deshonestidad académica. El presente estudio contribuye a un mejor conocimiento de las causas de la procrastinación y la deshonestidad académicas.

Individuals high in Machiavellianism are more likely to use ChatGPT covertly because they perceive questionable academic behaviors as less unethical than their peers.
“individuals high in Machiavellianism-a manipulative trait linked to moral flexibility-are more likely to use ChatGPT covertly as they perceive questionable academic behaviors, such as cheating, as less unethical than their peers (de Winter et al., 2024;Elias, 2015;Hidalgo-Fuentes et al., 2022).”

The Abstract and Discussion (page not supplied) report that Machiavellianism predicted academic dishonesty among the Spanish university students studied, and the Discussion links the trait to manipulative strategies and an absence of guilt. The paper does not examine covert ChatGPT use or show that people high in Machiavellianism judge cheating less unethical than their peers; it cannot establish the proposed reason for ChatGPT use.

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.
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.
