Abstract
This research conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between academic entitlement and impulsivity with academic dishonesty among high school students. The research method was correlational. The statistical population consisted of all high school students in Miandoab city during the academic year 1400-1401, and 272 people (137 boys and 135 girls) selected as a statistical sample using a multi-stage cluster random method. In order to collect data, questionnaires of academic entitlement (Chunning and Campbell, 2009), impulsivity (Patton, Stanford and Barrett, 1995) and academic dishonesty (McCabe and Trevino, 1996) used. Data analysis performed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis by a step-by-step method in SPSS23 software. The findings showed a significant positive relationship between academic entitlement (r=0.43) and impulsivity (r=0.50) with academic dishonesty (p<0.001). The results of the regression analysis showed that academic entitlement and impulsivity can explain 33% of the variance of academic dishonesty; therefore, it can concluded that academic entitlement and impulsivity play an important role in predicting academic dishonesty of high school students. It also suggested that those involved in the field of education should inform teachers and students about the variables of academic competence and impulsivity as effective factors in the classroom education process to reduce the possibility of academic dishonesty
