Annotation: This article examines the phenomenon of intentional plagiarism among senior school students as a socially and psychologically conditioned form of adaptation to educational pressure. The key factors contributing to the formation of plagiaristic behavior are analyzed, including family expectations, pedagogical pressure, and gender stereotypes. Based on theoretical and empirical studies, it is demonstrated that within a result-oriented educational culture, plagiarism ceases to be perceived by students as an ethical violation and transforms into a tool for preserving academic reputation and psychological balance. The article substantiates the necessity of shifting from punitive measures to psychological and pedagogical strategies aimed at preventing academic misconduct.

Keywords: plagiarism, family pressure, gender stereotypes, high expectations, academic ethics.
