Abstract: This research covers the investigation of social, psychological, and economic factors that affect the educational behaviors of young people aged 18–25 and identifies their interrelationships. According to the survey conducted among 500 undergraduate and graduate students (18-25 years old) of Baku universities, the impact of self-confidence, self-esteem, relationships with peers, family support, institutional and economic conditions on academic motivation and indicators is analyzed. To assess the strength and direction of relations, quantitative methods have been applied, including regression analysis. According to the findings, a number of factors such as peer rejection, social isolation have a strong negative impact on academic performance. Psychological factors such as self-confidence and emotional regulation explain 28.4% of academic performance differences. The power of influence of economic factors such as family financial support and access to learning resources is average. According to the results, comprehensive socio – psychological support strategies are very important for involving students in the educational process and increasing their academic performance. Accordingly, this survey supports a positive effect of socio – psychological and economic factors on young people’s academic performance and change in students’ motivation to study. Based on paper results, some recommendation was given with implication for further studies.
