    The first aim of the study was to examine the relationships among undergraduate students’ satisfaction with academic major choice, academic self-efficacy, academic locus of control, and attitudes towards cheating. Second, we investigated the mediating roles of academic locus of control in the relationships between undergraduate students’ satisfaction with academic major choice and attitudes towards cheating, as well as in the relationships between their academic self-efficacy and attitudes towards cheating. The sample consisted of 715 undergraduate students (Female=452; Male=263), majoring in diverse fields of study in different faculties at a large university located in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey. An exploratory correlational design was used in the study and in line with this, a latent-factor correlational analysis and the structural equation modeling analyses were conducted. The results showed that satisfaction with academic major choice and academic selfefficacy were significantly and negatively related to both external academic locus of control and attitudes towards cheating. The results also demonstrated that external academic locus of control fully mediated both the relationship between satisfaction with academic major choice and attitudes towards cheating as well as the relationship between academic self-efficacy and attitudes towards cheating. It was concluded that undergraduate students’ satisfaction with their academic major choice, academic competence they believe that they have, and explaining academic outcomes that they achieved by referring to internal orexternal frames of references were selectively related to their attitudes towards cheating. Implications for education and directions for further studies were also discussed in the study.
