Abstract
The purpose of this study was to structural equation modeling prediction of academic dishonesty based on implicit beliefs of intelligence with mediating role of moral identity in students in Tehran city. This study was conducted in the presence of 500 people by available sampling method among high school students in Tehran city in year academic 1400-1401. To measure the variables, academic dishonesty scale of Witherspoon and et al (2010), implicit theory of intelligence scale of Abd-El-Fattah and Yates (2006) and moral identity questionnaire of Black and Reynolds (2016) were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and structural equation modelling with using SPSS-24 and AMOS software was investigated. The results showed that there is significant relationship between implicit beliefs of intelligence and moral identity with procrastination (P <0.01). The results also showed that most of the direct paths of this study were significant and the indirect paths of implicit beliefs of intelligence were significant through the mediating role of moral identity on academic dishonesty. Also, proposed model had an acceptable fitness to the data (RMSEA=0/073, P-value<0/05) and evaluated model has a good fit and is an important step in identifying the factors that are effective in academic dishonesty in high school students in Tehran city.
