Abstract

Student cynicism is an attitude characterized by sense of frustration and negative beliefs mainly due to disillusion of expectations about students’ own course of studies. It could be direct towards academic experience in general, or towards specific aspects of academic environment. It consists of emotional, cognitive and behavioral dimensions and could be used as an indicator of distress, insecurity and disinvestment towards academic environment. Brockway et al. (2002) realized a 18-items self-report questionnaire to measure student cynicism, named Cynical Attitude Toward College Scale (C.A.T.C.S.).
