Psychological alienation and its relationship to the trend towards fraud among secondary school students Field study

Abstract

The current study aims to know the relationship between the experience of feeling psychological alienation and the trends of students towards cheating in the examinations, as well as to know the level of all the variables of the study, and to show the differences by both the sex variable as well as the type of specialty specialty in the study variables. The current sample of 76 secondary school pupils was 33 males and 43 females. This is one of the various disciplines in Mohammed BAADJI High School with the children of Ouled Derradj of The State of Msila. The study used the psychological alienation measure prepared by the researcher as well as the measure of the trend towards fraud in the exam designed by Imran Mohammed Ismail and others (1990). The results of the study revealed that the level of psychological alienation is low in the study sample members, with the results of a single sample test value of -4.46 functions at the 0.01 indication level and differences in favor of the theoretical average (50). The results of the study also revealed that pupils' trends towards fraud were negative, with a single sample (t) value equal to - 4.33 functions at 0.01 and differences in favour of the theoretical average (60). The results also showed a relationship between psychological alienation and fraud, with the link coefficient value equal to 0.33 functions at 0.01. The results revealed that there were no statistically significant differences between males and females in the degree of psychological alienation, as the value of the t test was estimated at (0.38). Also, the lack of a statistically significant difference between pupils in the degree of psychological alienation attributable to the specialty variable, the value of the F test was estimated at (2.30), and the statistically different D between males and females in the degree of trend towards fraud was statistically significant at 0.01 for males. There is also a statistically different D difference between sample members in the degree of fraud.
