        This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between self-regulation and academic resiliency with respected to mediating role of autonomous motivation. The target population of the study comprised Tehran universities under graduate students in the academic year of 1397-1398. The sample consisted of 360 students who were selected by random cluster sampling method. The instruments used in this study were: Academic motivation scale (Vallerand و colleagues, 1989), self-regulation scale (Bufard, 1995) and academic resiliency questionnaire (Martin, 2003). The research method applied to this study was casual modeling. The results revealed that self-regulation had direct effect to predict academic resiliency. Meaning that increase of self-regulation promotes resilience. In addition relationship of academic autonomous motivation is direct and negative which is the result of external motivation. This shows that non-autonomous motivation decreases academic resilience. Furthermore, autonomous motivation mediated the relationship of self-regulation with academic resiliency. Manuscript profile
