dc.abstract.enExamination dishonesty is a global problem that became particularly critical after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to remote learning. Academic research has often examined this phenomenon as only one aspect of a broader concept of academic dishonesty and as a one-dimensional construct. This article builds on existing knowledge and proposes a novel, two-factor model of examination misconduct, dividing it into individual and collective forms of dishonesty. A study conducted on a large sample of 462 Polish students confirmed the psychometric quality of the new Examination Dishonesty Intention Scale (EDIS) and the superiority of the two-factor model over the unidimensional model. In addition, we tested psychological correlates of both types of academic dishonesty and demonstrated their divergent validity. The results obtained are the subject of a broader discussion in the context of their practical application, and the EDIS questionnaire is proposed as a reliable instrument for exploring intentions of exam dishonesty.
