Abstract
Background: Undoubtedly, ethical and ethical values play a significant role in directing any field of behavior and activity in which a person
engages. Students are confronted with different situations and demands in the university environment, necessitating different ethical and
immorality behaviors.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the components of ethical values among students at Zahedan universities.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study, 426 students were selected by stratified random sampling from Islamic
Azad University, Sistan and Baluchestan University, and Medical Sciences University. Data were collected through a researcher-made
questionnaire after calculating validity and reliability on four components: Academic honesty, academic dishonesty, research honesty, and
research dishonesty. Data were analyzed using SPSS23 software with a one-sample t-test and MANOVA.
Results: From the perspective of students of different universities in Zahedan, the mean academic honesty, research honesty, academic
dishonesty, and research dishonesty among students were less than the desired level. There was no significant difference between male
and female students’ views on the mean of ethical value components among students. However, there was a significant difference between
students’ views in different departments and universities about the average components of ethical value among students.
Conclusions: Considering the low average of scientific and research honesty among students relative to the desired limit and the
significance of this difference, we need to increase students’ awareness of ethical values, observe justice and practical implementation of
examples of ethical values by professors, and encourage individuals to adhere to ethical values.
Keywords: Ethicality; Research Honesty; Academic Honesty; Research Dishonesty; Academic Dishonesty
