act of quoting sentences or words, ideas, views or theories, using facts in the form
of data and information from other people without providing quotation marks and
stating the identity of the source. Meanwhile, the meaning of attitude is also defined

determine a person's behavioral tendencies towards something (Azwar, 2022). The
aim of this research is to find out the attitudes towards plagiarism among students

sample of 88 people using total sampling. The measuring tool used is an attitude
scale towards plagiarism based on the attitude components by Azwar (20222),

descriptive statistical analysis method. The results of this study showed that as
many as 47 people (53.4%) had a positive attitude towards plagiarism and as many
as 41 people (46.5%) had a negative attitude towards plagiarism. | en_US |
