Resumen

La Deshonestidad Académica (DA) es una de las grandes dificultades que está teniendo la universidad en la formación de futuros profesionales pues es uno de los problemas éticos que más se está acrecentando en la actualidad. Debido a la ausencia de instrumentos con propiedades psicométricas adecuadas para evaluar la DA, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo desarrollar y analizar las propiedades de medida de un test que mide la percepción de los alumnos frente a acciones que implican DA en el ámbito universitario, llamado Percepciones hacia la Deshonestidad Académica (PDA). En los resultados se constata que el PDA tiene una fiabilidad apropiada. Se presentan evidencias de validez de constructo de las puntuaciones en una amplia muestra de estudiantes universitarios españoles. Contar con un instrumento de medida fiable y con evidencias de validez puede servir a los investigadores del área para diseñar propuestas de intervención que fortalezcan la integridad académica a nivel universitario.
