This study sought to investigate the structural relationships between impulsivity and academic performance based on the mediating role of academic motivation. The method of the present study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this study was all female students aged 16 to 18 years in Tehran in 1399. Using multistage cluster sampling method, 350 people were selected and answered the questionnaires of Pham and Taylor (1999), Walred et al.'s (1995) academic motivation and Bart (1995) impulsivity questionnaires. The data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed in two sections: descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics such as Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equations were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS softwares. Findings showed that academic motivation mediates the relationship between impulsivity and students' academic performance significantly (p <0.01). Based on the findings, it can be concluded that improving academic motivation can be a solution for reducing impulsivity and therefore improving the students' academic performance.

The aim of this study was modeling the productivity academic performance based on impulsivity, delayed reward discounting, and social-emotional skills mediated by academic motivation. In a descriptive study of correlation with the present structural equation model, among the statistical population including all adolescent girls aged 16 to 18 years in Tehran in the academic year 2019-2020, a statistical sample of 350 people were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method and by academic performance, academic motivation and emotional-social competency questionnaires were assessed. The descriptive statistics (Mean, standard deviation, skewness and elongation, etc.) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equations) were used to analyze the data by using SPSS and AMOS statistical software. The results of data analysis showed that there is a direct relationship between social emotional skills and academic performance (p<0.01) and academic motivation mediates this relationship significantly (p<0.01). The results of the present study can be used as a framework for designing educational programs to enhance students' academic performance.
