Features and personality characteristics of alleged corrupt behaviour: a psychosemantic approach

Introduction. Corruption is most painfully perceived in the social sphere and, despite the intensive fight against it, is difficult to eradicate. Given the sensitivity of the issue of corruption, respondents are extremely reluctant to comment on it. It is particularly difficult to obtain adequate information from respondents in a situation where the respondent is potentially dependent on the subjects and situations being assessed. Prevention of corrupt behaviour is extremely important in the system of higher education, as the university should act as a model of prosocial behaviour of the most educated and able-bodied citizens. The aim of the research is to study the peculiarities and personal characteristics of alleged corrupt behaviour of a university teacher.
