Introduction: One of the challenges of medical education is academic cynicism. The present study aimed at designing structural model of students’ academic cynicism based on sense of coherence, self-compassion and personal intelligence.   
Methods: This is a correlation study via structural equation modeling.Statistical population  include 250 medical students of west Azerbaijan in 2017-18 academic years that have been selected by cluster sampling method. For collecting data, Sense of coherence questionnaire, self-compassion scale, personal intelligence questionnaire and academic unwillingness subscale were used. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient, Bootstrap and Sobel test through SPSS and Amos software.
Results: The results indicated that sense of coherence and self-compassion are interacting with the intermediate role of personal intelligence in explaining the students' academic unwillingness are effective that totally 48% of the variance of academic willingness is explained through the variables of the model. The direct effect of personal intelligence (-0.27), sense of coherence (-0.20) and self-efficacy (-0.4) were significant in estimating students' academic unwillingness. The indirect effect of sense of coherence (0.11) and self-compassion (0.08) by mediating personal intelligence on the students' academic unwillingness is significant.
Conclusion: Considering the indirect effect of coherence and self-compassion on the degree of academic unwillingness, it seems that personal intelligence modulates the relationship between sense of coherence and self-compassion with academic unwillingness.
Keywords: Sense of Coherence, Self-Compassion, Academic Cynicism, Personal Intelligence
