The statistical population included all high school third grade girl students in district one of Ahvaz. A sample of 270 students were selected using cluster multi-stage sampling method. To collect the data, Motivational beliefs for learning questionnaire (MBLQ) and Future prospect inventory (FTPI) were used. The average of the first semester was used to measure the students’ academic performance. In order to analyze data, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used. The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between self-efficiency and intrinsic valuation and also future prospect with academic performance. There is a significant negative relationship between test anxiety and academic performance.
