Academic motivation is one of the indices of success in scientific activities. Therefore, the goal of the present research is to predict academic motivation based on variables of personality traits, academic self-efficacy, academic alienation, and social support in students studying in different fields of paramedicine.
The research was correlation-descriptive in which 183 paramedical university students in the academic year of 2019-2020 were selected by a two-stage cluster random sampling method, studying in the Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences. The data were collected through the Vallerand Academic Motivation questionnaire, NEO Personality Inventory Test, Sherer Self-Efficacy questionnaire, Fleming Social Support questionnaire, and Johnson Academic Alienation, and the collected data were analyzed (Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression) using SPSS V.22 software.
The results showed that personality traits of extroversion (), openness to experience (), conscientiousness (), and self-efficacy could predict academic motivation, significantly; but neuroticism (), and academic alienation () reversely related to academic motivation. Self-efficacy () could significantly predict academic motivation. There was also a significant relationship between social support and academic motivation.
The results of the research illustrated that some of the personality traits and self-efficacy had a positive role in predicting academic motivation among paramedical students, and neuroticism and alienation had a reverse negative role in academic motivation. Therefore, in order to promote the academic level of students, it is necessary to improve the harmful effects of self-efficacy and some personality traits that improve better learning performance and quality.
学术动机是科学活动成功的指标之一。因此，本研究的目的是预测不同专业领域的医学生的学术动机，其预测变量为人格特质、学业自我效能感、学业疏离感和社会支持。
本研究为相关描述性研究，共纳入 183 名 2019-2020 学年在克尔曼沙阿医科大学学习的医学预科大学生。采用两阶段整群随机抽样法选取研究对象。采用瓦勒兰学术动机问卷、大五人格问卷、舍勒自我效能感问卷、弗莱明社会支持问卷和约翰逊学业疏离问卷收集数据，采用 SPSS V.22 软件对收集的数据进行分析（皮尔逊相关系数和多元回归）。
结果表明，外向性（）、经验开放性（）、尽责性（）和自我效能感（）等人格特质能显著预测学术动机，但神经质（）和学业疏离感（）与学术动机呈负相关。自我效能感（）可以显著预测学术动机。社会支持与学术动机之间也存在显著关系。
研究结果表明，一些人格特质和自我效能感对医学生的学术动机有积极的预测作用，而神经质和疏离感对学术动机有负向的消极作用。因此，为了提高学生的学业水平，有必要改善自我效能感和一些人格特质的负面影响，这些特质会提高学习成绩和学习质量。
