ChatGPT could allow students to plagiarize the content of their coursework with little risk of detection. Little is known about undergraduate willingness to use AI tools. In this study, psychology undergraduates ( = 160) from the United Kingdom, indicated their willingness to use, and history of using, ChatGPT to write university assignments. Almost a third (32%) indicated that they would use such tools; 15% indicated that they had used them already. Neither personality (conscientiousness, agreeableness, Machiavellianism, narcissism), academic performance, nor study skills self-efficacy could predict future use of AI tools. A novel Degree Apathy Scale was the only significant predictor. Willingness to use AI tools was greater when the risk of getting caught was low, and punishment was light, particularly for those high in degree apathy. Findings suggest that degree apathy is a key risk factor in academic misconduct. Wider research and pedagogical applications of degree apathy are discussed.

嘿 ChatGPT，给我一篇关于学位冷漠和学生使用人工智能进行作业写作的论文的标题


ChatGPT 可以让学生抄袭其课程内容，而被发现的风险很小。人们对大学生使用人工智能工具的意愿知之甚少。在这项研究中，来自英国的心理学本科生 (= 160) 表明了他们使用 ChatGPT 来撰写大学作业的意愿以及使用历史。近三分之一 (32%) 表示他们会使用此类工具； 15% 表示他们已经使用过。性格（责任心、随和性、马基雅维利主义、自恋）、学习成绩和学习技能自我效能都无法预测人工智能工具的未来使用。一种新颖的冷漠程度量表是唯一重要的预测指标。当被抓的风险较低且惩罚较轻时，使用人工智能工具的意愿就更高，特别是对于那些冷漠程度较高的人。研究结果表明，学位冷漠是学术不端行为的一个关键风险因素。讨论了学位冷漠的更广泛的研究和教学应用。
