Method: The data was collected from 165 Ph.D Psychology and education science students based on correlation design and performing questionnaire. The data was analyzed with the help of descriptive statistics to describe the answers of the participants. Then, the data was analyzed with the aid of the structural equation modeling for research hypothesis testing and obtaining correlation between academic writing motivation, major and program attitude, feedback request, critical feedback viewpoint, proficiency and knowledge of the person who gives feedback, personality and help of the person who gives feedback, revising the decision-externals and revising the decision-rationalizations.
