The purpose of this study was to determine and anticipate academic Cheating in students based on educational satisfaction, academic motivation and Self-handicapping. This research was carried out through descriptive correlational method and the statistical population of this study was 12215 students of Bu-Ali Sinai University. A sample of 300 students was selected. Using cluster sampling method, the clustering of the community based on the college and then its classification based on gender and gender selection were done. The required data were collected using Hartre's Educational Motivation Questionnaire (1981), Jones and Rudolt's academic Self-handicapping (1982), Mohseni's educational satisfaction (2010), and Frasat’s attitude toward academic Cheating (1392). Using multiple linear regression Simultaneously analyzed.The results of the analyzes showed that the variables considered including educational satisfaction and academic motivation and Self-handicapping were in general 15% related to the student's tendency toward academic Cheating (p ) Additionally, academic self-sufficiency alone can predict 39% of the students' academic motivation and 17% of the student's attitudes toward academic Cheating (p = 0.01).Based on these findings, if we want to reduce the amount of counterfeit students' behavior, we have to take steps to increase the student's academic motivation; as Self-handicapping of students decreases, the probability of their tendency toward academic Cheating Will also decrease.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the biases of students' self-efficacy with regard to some external criteria and its impact on educational motivation, affects and performance outcomes. Participants were 273 second-grade guidance-school students (150 female, 123 male) who were selected by cluster random sampling. The instruments were scales about self-efficacy, motivation, affects and sense to school .On the basis of subtraction of a criterion score (yielded by the average value of teacher evaluation, peers evaluation and the students' math performance), students were divided into three self-efficacy judgmental groups, i.e. pessimists, optimists and realists. The resultsshowed that most of the students overestimated their math self-efficacy. Analysis of variance for motivation and affects outcomes showed significant differences between the means of pessimists and realists groups in benefit of the optimists group. Also, all groups were significantly different in math performance. Pessimists group had the highest and the optimists group the lowest scores. The results indicated a relationship between the kind of self-efficacy judgments and educational motivation, affects, and math performance. Due to unrealistic estimates of students' academic efficacy, it is recommended to find a solution for this problem.
