Brown, Gavin T LMa, Wutong2025-01-052025-01-052024https://hdl.handle.net/2292/70902From the past to the present, plagiarism has always been a topic of concern. Plagiarism not only affects students' access to knowledge but also may affect the fairness of the educational environment. In this study, a re-analysis of secondary data and a structural equation model are used to validate the model of the data source literature, and a new model is proposed. At the same time, in order to improve the validity of the data, invariance measurement was carried out before the analysis, and feedback on plagiarism and procrastination of students of different genders and grades was analyzed after the measurement was passed. The study found that, in general, male students plagiarized more than female students, and high school students plagiarized more than middle school students. Interestingly, however, in the category of total plagiarism (i.e., work without one's own opinion), high school students committed fewer acts than middle school students. In terms of the relationship between plagiarism and procrastination, the study found that there is a positive correlation between the two.https://researchspace.auckland.ac.nz/docs/uoa-docs/rights.htmThesisCopyright: the authorAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
