Parent and peer attachment to academic dishonesty in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic

Since the COVID-19 pandemic has occurred around the world, education has been one of the most affected. All schools in the world are closing and changing the learning system to online learning. This makes social interaction between students limited, but not for parents who live together. The implementation of online learning turns out to provide an easier method of committing academic dishonesty. We examine how attachments that include father, mother and peer attachments affect the behaviour of academic dishonesty. A total of 165 high school students participated in this study. Results Our research confirms previous research that the results show no effect of all attachments on academic dishonesty. This shows that students continue to be dishonest during online learning without being influenced by attachments, in contrast to other studies conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. The research results and implications for education providers are discussed.
