Abstract
There has been a belief among most western scholars that due to cultural difference, plagiarism is acceptable in many countries outside western community. In order to test this theory, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 201 undergraduates in one of Chinese universities , involving the degree learners is knowledgeable about plagiarism, the attitude they hold toward plagiarizers and the factors affecting the plagiarism. And the result shows that the majority say no to plagiarism, and it is not cultural difference that leads to the act but learners’ less knowledge about the plagiarism. Thus, more attention should be paid to academic training of students in Chinese higher education.
Keywords: plagiarism; cultural difference ；perception ; honest

Many of them are regarded as plagiarizer due to their improper use of source text, which is considered to be plagiarism in the western. And this phenomenon has drawn many scholars' attention . Many national and international studies on the topic reveal that students and researchers commit plagiarism for some reasons in some ways, and this violation of the academic ethics is being hindered through certain sanctions . As for Asian students ,some holds that it is cultural difference that leads to plagiarism , since it is acceptable in their mother collectivism culture.
Along these lines,this study was carried out to investigate the phenomenon of Chinese learners’ plagiarizing behaviour , to test the above cultural difference theory.
