Introduction Academic achievement has always been one of the main concerns in the education system. Therefore, researchers try to discover effective factors to help improve it. These factors are either directly related to the learner or are factors associated with other variables in education including the teacher and the teaching method, and the socioeconomic factors in the environment. The most important personal factors are motivation, self-efficacy, cognitive and other factors related to learner^s psychology (Kiyamanesh&Meraji, 2011). One of the new trends in psychology is positive psychology capturing the attention of psychologists that one of its key constructs in the field of education is academic vitality (Rahimi&Zareie, 2016). Academic buoyancy refers to the positive, constructive, and adaptive response to different types of challenges and obstacles that are experienced in the continuous and ongoing field of study. These challenges include cases such as poor grades, deadlines, academic contests, exam pressure, and school problems (Martin & Marsh, 2008; Putwain& Daly, 2013).
