Reskala, Felix Academic Dishonesty, Cheating, Theory of Planned Behavior, Perceived Prevalence, Plagiarism Deshonestidad Académica, Trampa escolar, Teoría del Comportamiento Planeado, Prevalencia percibida, Plagio Academic Dishonesty is associated with general corruption, workplace dishonest actions, and a bad reputation for schools. However, few articles have studied the role of perceived cheating prevalence. Therefore, using the Theory of Planned Behavior and Perceived cheating prevalence, this paper proposes a structural equation model to explain academically dishonest actions. Using questionnaires, the following variables were measured: perceived cheating prevalence, self-reported cheating, and the TPB variables (intention, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, & moral obligation).  Results show the TPB’s attitudes and moral obligation as significant predictors of academic dishonesty, and perceived prevalence being an important mediator. These results show that perceived prevalence, attitudes, moral obligation should be included in future interventions aimed at reducing cheating behaviors. La deshonestidad académica se asocia con corrupción general, acciones laborales deshonestas, y la mala reputación escolar. Sin embargo, pocos artículos han estudiado el rol de la prevalencia percibida de la trampa escolar. Por lo tanto, utilizando la Teoría del Comportamiento Planeado, y la prevalencia percibida, este artículo propone un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para explicar las acciones de deshonestidad académica. Por medio de cuestionarios se midieron las siguientes variables: Prevalencia percibida de la trampa escolar, deshonestidad académica auto reportada, y las variables del TCP (intención, actitudes, norma subjetiva, control conductual percibido, y obligación moral). Los resultados muestran que las actitudes y la obligación moral de la TCP son predictores significativos de la deshonestidad académica, mientras que la prevalencia percibida es un mediador relevante. Estos resultados muestran que la prevalencia percibida, las actitudes, y obligación moral deberían de incluirse en las intervenciones futuras que busquen reducir la deshonestidad académica.
