The aim of the present study was to predict academic cheating among students based on academic self-efficacy, self-control, and dark personality traits. This research employed a descriptive-correlational design. The statistical population included students of Islamic Azad University, Urmia Branch, during the 2023–2024 academic year. A sample of 400 individuals was selected through multistage cluster random sampling. Participants completed the Academic Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (ASEQ; Chemers et al., 2001), the Self-Control Scale (SCS; Tangney et al., 2004), and the Dirty Dozen Dark Triad Questionnaire (DTDD; Jonason & Webster, 2010). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that academic self-efficacy and self-control were negatively and significantly related to academic cheating (p < .05). Among the dark personality traits, antisociality was the strongest positive predictor of academic cheating (β = 0.26, p < .05). According to the regression analysis, the predictor variables—academic self-efficacy, self-control, and dark personality traits—together explained 29.8% of the variance in students’ academic dishonesty. These findings suggest that enhancing self-efficacy and self-control may effectively reduce the tendency toward academic cheating, whereas dark personality traits, particularly antisociality, may contribute to an increase in such behavior.
