ABSTRACT
The primary objectives of the study were to find out whether there is any significant relationship between fear of negative evaluation and academic dishonesty among undergraduates and also to find out whether there is any significant difference in fear of negative evaluation and academic dishonesty based on gender and area of residence. The sample included 148 undergraduates (males = 68 and females = 80) taken from different districts of Kerala. The data was collected using web-based survey. Brief fear of negative evaluation scale and academic dishonesty scale were used. The data was analysed using different statistical tools such as the Spearman’s correlation, Man-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test (IBM SPSS). Findings revealed no significant correlation between fear of negative evaluation and academic dishonesty, significant difference in academic dishonesty among males and females and significant difference among undergraduates living in rural, semi-urban and urban areas of Kerala for certain dimensions of academic dishonesty (Cheating in Examination (CE), Plagiarism (PL), Prior Cheating (PC)).
