The target population of the study comprised Tehran universities students who were studying at education and psychology faculties in the academic year of 1393-1394. The sample consisted of 438 students who were selected by random cluster sampling method. The instruments used in this study were: Academic motivation scale (Vallerand & colleagues, 1989), perceived competence scale (Williams & Deci, 1996) and academic resiliency questionnaire (Martin, 2003). The research method applied to this study was structural equation modeling. The results revealed that perceived competence had direct effect to predict academic resiliency. Furthermore, autonomous motivation mediated the relationship of perceived competence with academic resiliency.
