dc.description.abstract The objectives of this study are to describe the knowledge, attitudes,  and  behavior  of  the  participants  with  regard  to corruption among student leaders in the University of the Philippines, Diliman and to identify the factors that  influence the concept, attitudes, and practices of student leaders towards corruption. This research study aims to establish the correlation between tertiary  education  level cultures with that of the influence of practicing corruption among the youth. The study was able to determine that the participants view corruption through either a Macro‐Sociological Perspective or a Micro‐sociological Perspective. Under the latter  perspective, the influences considered are peers, background/past experiences,  faculty/administrative bodies, academic curriculum, and extra‐curricular  activities.  Other influences include media and personal characteristics. These influences are collated  by  the  individual  and are  used  by  the  student  leader  as  the  basis  of  his/her actions and decisions, whether consciously or not. The former perspective on the other hand defines corruption according to the affect of the society or culture on the individual. In general the respondent’s attitude towards corruption is tolerant wherein most view the corrupt acts as a means of survival in the political arena of the university. The behavior of the respondents in relation to these activities were also quite varied in that they range from sharing their insights on the topic with  other  individuals  to  directly  confronting  the  individuals in question.   en_US
