The present study aimed to find the difference in the level of Academic Motivation, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in first-generation male and female college students, and also to find out the relationship between Academic Motivation, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in both groups. For this purpose, 200 students were selected following the criteria of inclusion. They were divided into two groups, first-generation male students (N=100) and first-generation female students (N=100). Finally, they were assessed on Academic Motivation, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress with AMS C-28 and DASS-21. The result of the present study shows that male and female college students of first-generation do not differ in their Academic Motivation and Depression, but female students have more Anxiety and Stress, compared to male students. In case of male students, Academic Motivation and Depression are negatively correlated, and the relationship is low, and other variables do not show a significant relationship. But in the case of the female, all variables Depression, Anxiety, and Stress are negatively correlated with Academic Motivation, and the relationship is weak, but Anxiety, Stress, and Depression have a moderate positive relationship.
