澳大利亚大学的最新研究表明,被指控学术不诚实的学生面临严重的心理健康问题。在调查样本中,超过半数被指控的学生焦虑评分位于普通人群的前2%1,约50%的被指控学生还报告了严重的抑郁症状,其中仅3名学生的抑郁程度处于"正常"范围内1。研究对比了被指控学生、1000多名未经历此类程序的学生及2000多名澳大利亚成年人的心理状况1。
调查发现,学术不诚实指控流程对学生造成的心理困扰持续时间长且程度深。一名学生报告调查过程耗时约六周,期间感到"严重焦虑"和"无法正常运作"1。研究还显示,不以英语为第一语言的学生在不诚实指控中的比例更高1。学生们对大学的支持态度感到失望,有学生评价称"我没有学到很多东西,因为我的大学对此态度不友好"1。
针对这一问题,研究提出了多项改革建议。大学应该改革评估设计以减少作弊机会、为被指控学生提供心理咨询服务、加强对国际学生的支持资源宣传,以及缩短调查周期以减轻学生的情绪困扰1。
A new study from Australian universities has documented the substantial psychological toll on students facing academic dishonesty allegations. The research examined 22 students who had undergone misconduct investigations among a sample of 771 students, comparing their mental health outcomes with over 1,000 students who had not experienced such proceedings and more than 2,000 Australian adults.1
The findings are striking: more than half of the accused students registered anxiety scores in the top 2 percent of the general population, indicating extreme distress levels.1 Approximately 50 percent of these students also reported severe depression symptoms, with only three students scoring in the normal range.1 One student described an investigation process lasting approximately six weeks during which they experienced "severe anxiety" and were "unable to function normally."1 The research also identified that students whose first language was not English were disproportionately represented among those facing dishonesty accusations.1
The researchers have outlined several interventions universities could adopt to mitigate student suffering. These include redesigning assessment methods to reduce opportunities for AI-related cheating, providing psychological counseling services, promoting awareness of support resources among international students, and expediting investigation timelines.1 As one student reflected, "I didn't learn much because my university was unfriendly about it," highlighting how the experience undermines academic engagement alongside mental health.1
