Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between perceived parental involvement, autonomy support and warmth and students' autonomous research motivation as well as to examine the mediating role of cognitive styles in this regard. In descriptive and correlational design, 317 female undergraduate students were selected using a quota sampling method from Shahid Hasheminejad Campus of Farhangian University of Mashhad. The Perception of Parents Scale (POPS), the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT), and the Motivation Research Scale (MRS) were used to collect the data. The path analysis demonstrated that the effect of perception of parental autonomy support and warmth, when mediated by cognitive style, has a positive impact on autonomous research motivation. The impact of parental involvement with cognitive style mediation on research autonomous motivation was found to be negative. Therefore, parents can lead their children from amotivation that is the low level of motivation to the autonomous motivation in research behaviors by satisfying the needs of autonomy support, belonging and influencing their children's cognitive style.
