Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between intrinsic motivation to academic accomplishment (IMTA) and psychosocial wellbeing among university students in Jordan. Methods: cross sectional correctional design utilized to collect data from 218 university students in regards to motivation to academic accomplishment, social support, life satisfaction, optimism, and depressive symptoms. The results showed that university students in Jordan had low to moderate level of IMAT, and that IMAT had positive association with perceived social support from family (r = .17, p < .05), life satisfaction (r = .14, p < .05), and optimism (r = .19, p < .001). None of the psychosocial factors found to be significant predictor of IMATA. Implication for mental health counselors at the students’ health services and centers discussed.
