self-esteem, examination, cheating, behaviour, and students

This study examined self-esteem and examination cheating behaviour among secondary school students in Delta State. The study was guided by three research questions and hypotheses. Theoretical and empirical literatures were reviewed. The design for this study is ex-post, it is correlational in nature. The sample size for the study was 381 secondary school students selected from 25 Local Government of Delta state. The instrument for the study is a questionnaire titled self-esteem and examination cheating behaviour. The instrument has face, content and constructs validity through expert judgement and factor analysis. The reliability index is 0.91 for Examination Cheating and 0.75 for self-esteem. Regression statistics was used to analyse the data. The result revealed that self-esteem do not predict examination cheating behaviour among secondary school learners in Delta State. Also gender and age did not moderate the association between self-esteem and ECB. The study recommended that efforts should be made by guidance counsellors, teachers and parents to improve the self-esteem of the students in order to reduce their examination cheating behaviour, rather those that will influence them negatively into indulging in social vices such as examination cheating behaviour.
