Reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Cross-Cultural Academic Integrity Questionnaire: CCAIQ-2

This study revises the Cross-Cultural Academic Integrity Questionnaire Version 2 (CCAIQ-2) and examines its reliability and validity in Chinese college students to verify the suitability of the scale for measuring their academic integrity level. A total of 980 students participated in the study via a questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis suggested three meaningful factors: copying, cheating, and complying. Results of the reliability and validity analyses indicated that the revised Chinese version of the CCAIQ-2 can measure the academic integrity level of Chinese college students. The analysis showed differences in the academic integrity levels of college students by gender, grade, and major.
