Abstract The aim of this study was to construct and investigate the factor structure of the scale of students' academic destructive behaviors. The research method was descriptive-correlation and the statistical population included all first grade high school students in Bushehr. Participants in the study were 503 male and female students who were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling. Structural validity (confirmatory factor analysis) was used to determine the validity of the questionnaire and Cronbach's alpha coefficient and structural reliability in SPSS and AMOS software were used to assess the reliability. The goodness indicators confirmed the fit of the model. The results confirmed the existence of four factors of academic, academic dishonesty, academic status violations and academic oppositional defiant on this scale. Cronbach's alpha indices of these components were also considered favorable. In general, the scale of academic harmful behaviors has a good internal consistency and good validity and can be used in research related to academic injuries.
