The research method was descriptive correlational. The study population consisted of all secondary high school girl students during the academic year of 2018. From this population, 302 students were selected by multistage cluster sampling. The instruments used included the achievement goals scale of Middleton & Midgley (1997), academic buoyancy scale of Hossein Chari and Dehghanizadeh (2012) and the students' average as an academic performance index. The data were analyzed using correlation matrix and path analysis statistical methods using Spss18 and Amos 23 software. The results showed that both variables of achievement goals (goals of master, performance and avoidance) and academic buoyancy had a direct effect (p The purpose of this study was to determine the causal relationship between achievement goals and academic performance through mediating of academic buoyancy in secondary high school girl students in Ramhormoz.
