Therefore, examining issues such as academic motivation, desirable academic excitement, and academic engagement profiles of students is very important and vital. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between academic motivation and desirable academic excitement with the mediating role of academic engagement profiles in first-year high school students in Zahedan.

The statistical population of the research was all first-year high school students in Zahedan in the academic year 2023-2024, which numbered 35,871 (16,878 girls and 18,993 boys). Also, 380 people (179 girls and 202 boys) were selected as samples using a random-stratified sampling method. To collect data, the academic emotion questionnaire by Pakran et al. (2002), the academic motivation scale by Valerand et al. (1989), and the academic conflict profile questionnaire by Rio and T. Sang (2011) were used. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the supervisor based on face and content validity. Also, the reliability of the questionnaires was estimated to be 0.869, 0.833, and 0.841, respectively, based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient.
Findings: The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between academic motivation and academic excitement (0.54) and between academic motivation and academic engagement profiles (0.75) and between the variables of academic engagement profiles and academic excitement (0.41). Discussion and Conclusion: The results of this study also help teachers, school administrators, and senior managers of the aforementioned organization to gain a better and more objective understanding of the level of academic engagement, academic excitement, and academic motivation of students
