Abstract: A self-report questionnaire was administered to 287 high school students to explore their perceived goal orientations, satisfaction with school, success attributions, and cheating behaviours and beliefs. Factor analysis procedures were used to establish the reliability of the scales. Students rated mastery goals higher than performance goals, and were more internal than external in success attributions; yet, they reported low levels of satisfaction with school. In addition, engagement in cheating and the belief that cheating is acceptable received high ratings. Correlational and regression analyses revealed that satisfaction with school was a negative predictor, and the attribution of success to luck a positive predictor, of the cheating variables. Finally, mastery orientation showed a negative relation with the cheating measures.
