Presenter: Dr Shauna Diffley, Assistant Professor in Psychology, Chartered Behavioural Psychologist
What does it mean to behave with academic integrity, and what influences whether people do so? This session will explore academic integrity through the lens of behavioural psychology, examining how academic integrity can be defined in terms of observable behaviours in higher education. It will consider the individual, social, and environmental factors that may influence students’ and staff members’ engagement in behaviours that uphold or undermine academic integrity. Finally, the session will explore how we can design and adapt educational environments to promote academic integrity and support staff and students to act in ways that uphold academic standards and values.
