This study aimed to investigate academic dishonesty among Greek university students, its relationship with the Dark Triad, and the moderating role of moral disengagement, using gender as a covariate. Overall, 587 students attending Greek public Universities voluntarily completed an anonymous self-report questionnaire assessing the constructs under investigation.

Moderation analysis indicated that moral disengagement had an effect in the relationship of psychopathy with unauthorized collaboration, especially among men.

To evaluate this notion, we assessed the prevalence of self-reported positive and negative ageist behaviors in 205 students (<i>M</i> = 21.95, <i>SD</i> = 7.28, age range: 16-52 years) and 29 faculty (<i>M</i> = 49.55, <i>SD</i> = 11.07, age range: 33-71 years) in a community college in southeast Louisiana in the spring of 2019.

Quantitative analyses indicated that students' ROPE scores exceeded those of the faculty and more positive than negative ageist behaviors were reported. Qualitative analyses revealed mostly positive expectations of middle-aged students among narrative responses to the open-ended question. As a follow-up, 10 nontraditional age students were individually interviewed in person to obtain an in-depth assessment of their community college experience. Strong evidence of internalized, individual, and institutional ageism were evident in their responses.
