The role of spiritual health and psychological resilience in predicting academic motivation of Farhangian University students

Abstract :

Given the importance of academic motivation in student success and its impact on educational performance, it seems necessary to investigate the factors affecting this variable. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the role of spiritual health and psychological resilience in predicting students' academic motivation. The research method was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of the study included all male and female students of Farhangian University of South Khorasan Province in the academic year 1403-1404, totaling 2100 people. Based on the Krejci & Morgan (1971) sampling table, 310 people (185 girls and 125 boys) were selected from among eligible individuals using the stratified random sampling method and responded to the Vallerand (1992) academic motivation questionnaire, Connor and Davidson's (2003) resilience questionnaire, and Palutzin and Ellison's (1982) spiritual health questionnaire. Statistical analysis including the relationships between variables was performed using regression analysis and Pearson's correlation coefficient in SPSS-26 software. The findings showed that spiritual health (R²=0.341) and resilience (R²=0.361) are positively related to academic motivation. In fact, the results of the study indicated that spiritual health and resilience explain 34.1 and 36.6 percent of the variance in academic motivation, respectively (P<0.05). resilience plays an important role in increasing students' academic motivation because it helps them to resist academic challenges and continue their learning path with a positive attitude. Therefore, strengthening resilience through training in coping skills and stress management can be a key factor in improving students' academic performance and success.
