Abstract
This research study's principal objective is to explain the relationship between corruption and political attitudes regarding sustainable development, also from the perspective of Peruvian students. The sample consisted of 616 university students who were from the cities of Lima and Piura. They responded to two instruments: The Attitude Scale Toward Politics and the Attitude Scale Toward Corruption. Among the most representative results, it was found that institutional corruption has a highly significant and direct relationship with political attitudes from the perspective of university students (0.720. Sig.0.000). Nine out of ten dimensions of attitudes toward politics achieved highly significant correlations (p = 0.001) with attitudes toward corruption. Among the conclusions, it is observed that attitudes toward politics and attitudes toward corruption show a systematic interdependence of modification. It is necessary implement strategies for political participation without corruption is emphasized to improve the education that sustains the future governance of the country.
