Abstract

This study explores the relationship between gender of undergraduate students and their attitudes towards software piracy. Research data was obtained by surveying the undergraduate students of a business administration department at a public university in Turkey. Independent samples t-test was used for comparisons between male and female students’ attitudes toward software piracy. It was found that female students find software piracy less acceptable than male students do. The study finding is consistent with previous studies that reported female student participants are significantly more ethical than male student participants in terms of software piracy.
